Time is Life: Conference on Halting Biodiversity Loss by 2010

Outcomes

The first day of the conference aimed to provide possibilities for sharing information and views among speakers, panellists and the audience in the framework of the presentation on sustainable development and the panel discussions. On the second day practical results of national assessments were presented in order to demonstrate the national manifestation of the 2010 target in South East European countries, as well as to show an example of NGO involvement in the monitoring of implementation. Later the participants could express their own experiences, proposals in Working Groups and worked on a joint position paper that target NGOs, governments and international organisations.

On the second after the Working Group discussions Mr. Michael Meyer (Ecological Tourism in Europe) outlined the modalities of the edition and adoption of the position paper and the Working Group chairs introduced the results of the Working Groups to the plenary. Mr. Meyer presented the draft recommendations that had been edited beforehand by the drafting group sentence by sentence. Each concern and addition was discussed by the plenary and after reaching a common agreement, the text was included in the document. The preamble of the draft position paper formulated before the conference was also discussed and adopted. The position paper was endorsed by the conference participants on 3 November 2004. The conference participants gave the mandate to CEEweb to work on the layout.
