JISC launches JI Track 2 procedure

A two-day meeting of the Joint Implementation Supervisory Committee (JISC) took place from 26-27 October, on the first day of which the JISC officially launched the verification procedure under the JISC (JI Track 2 procedure). With this launch the UNFCCC secretariat has begun receiving from accredited independent entities (AIEs) project design documents (PDDs) for JI projects to be implemented under the JI Track 2 procedure. These PDDs will be made publicly available through the secretariat, subject to confidentiality provisions, for comments from Parties, stakeholders and UNFCCC accredited observers for a 30 day period.

The above-mentioned PDDs are available at the UNFCCC JI website under http://ji.unfccc.int/JI_Projects/Verification/PDD/index.html, where detailed information on the comment period and on how comments can be submitted to the AIE is provided.

On 27 October 2006 the first PDD was published for comments: "Switch from wet-to-dry process at Podilsky Cement, Ukraine" (Reference number: 0001). This PDD is open for comments from 27 Oct 06 until 25 Nov 06 (17:00 GMT).
