IN THE CORRIDORS

Two contact groups met over the weekend. One group, chaired by Australia, focused on nomenclature for: defining national forest programmes; references to groups included in language on participation; and whether to replace “management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests” with “SFM.” A second group, chaired by Canada, considered several subparagraphs on financial assistance and also were expected to address unresolved issues on market access under programme element IV (trade and environment).
