Saving the the migratory species - the final curtain part 2

CMS CoP13 on a break

By 2.45 pm in the afternoon the Chair of the plenary is back in his seat and the Committee of the Whole has been closed.

The credentials committee reports that 82 parties were present and 77% had their credentials in order.

The elections of new members of the standing committee are agreed.

The chairman steadily works through all the documents containing all the proposals previously examined and, in some cases amended, and approved in the Committee of the Whole and after each one he brings his gavel down to indicate they are passed.

This is followed by some speeches and then we are done.
