At its first meeting, the Committee requested the Secretariat, subject to the availability of resources and building on the information collected under the Committee’s mandate to examine systemic issues of general compliance and implementation of interest to all Parties, to provide information to the Committee at its second meeting on possible questions relating to Parties’ compliance, including in relation to the designation of country contacts.
In addition, the Committee requested the Secretariat to communicate with the three Parties that had, at the time of the meeting, neither designated an official contact point nor a national focal point with a view to the Committee establishing the facts and the root causes of the matter of concern and assisting in its resolution.
