Electronic-only publication, available in English, French and Russian
(ECE/MP.EIA/16, 46 pp.)
At its fifth session, in 2011, the Meeting of the Parties, welcomed the reports by the Parties on their implementation, and adopted the Third Review of Implementation, as presented in this publication. It also noted its findings (presented in section 1.2 of the Review) and agreed again to repeat the review of implementation exercise for the sixth session of the Meeting of the Parties.
The Meeting of the Parties requested the Convention’s Implementation Committee to take into account in its work general and specific compliance issues identified in this Third Review of Implementation. The Committee is responsible for the review of compliance by Parties with their obligations under the Convention. However, besides its importance to the Implementation Committee, this Review provides valuable information for Parties wishing to strengthen their implementation of the Convention, for States considering acceding to the Convention in their legal and administrative preparations, and for others wishing to understand better how the Convention is implemented in national legislation and applied in practice.
