Comments on revised draft 
of 4 October 2002

The Working Group reviewed the draft assessment report (of 17 July 2002) during the Working Group meeting 9-13 September 2002 and agreed to a number of changes and additions.  The Working Group agreed to a process to finalize the assessment report and requested the secretariat to circulate the revised version of the draft report by 4 October 2002 to members of the Working Group, with a deadline for comments to be submitted by 1 November 2002.  

Comments received are available in PDF-format in the table below.  Some additional follow-up with regards to comments made during the Working Group meeting took place directly with the members involved.  These discussions are not reflected below. The Secretariat, when finalizing the assessment report, as far as possible took into consideration the comments received on the revised draft of 4 October 2002. However, a few Working Group members at this time also submitted new data and information.  Since this information was not available and discussed by the Working Group during its September meeting, it was not included in the final assessment report.  Nonetheless, the Secretariat will keep this information on file for later discussions, should the UNEP Governing Council decide on follow-up activities.
