BRIEF REPORT ON THE MEDITERRANEAN
MULTI-STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION MEETING:
CONTRIBUTION TO A MEDITERRANEAN STRATEGY
FOR THE JOHANNESBURG WSSD, 13 NOVEMBER
2001, MONACO, ORGANISED BY MIO-ECSDE
WITH THE SUPPORT OF UNEP/MAP, THE
PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO AND THE CEU
DG ENV
Please
also refer to the previous bulletin
(no 33 Sept-Oct/01).
MIO-ECSDE
would like first of all to thank all
the speakers and participants of the
meeting as it was undoubtedly their
contributions that helped in making
it a successful one, and we would
also like to take the opportunity
to once again thank, the UNEP/MAP
Secretariat, the Principality of Monaco
for their support and the EC DG ENV,
as well as Dr. K. Töpfer and all the
collaborating organisations (UN ECE)
for their encouraging message to the
consultation.
MIO-ECSDE
made a genuine effort in synthesizing
and adding appropriately each and
every comment and intervention proposed
by the many stakeholders and representatives
of the meeting to enrich and strengthen
the working documents. You will find
the final version of the main working
document attached. As concerns the
12th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting
Parties to the Barcelona Convention
(14-17 Nov) here is a brief outline
of what happened in relation to the
outcome of the Mediterranean Multi-Stakeholder
Consultation Meeting held on the 13th:
1) A Drafting Group was set up on
the 14th after the opening session
with the purpose of amending the Tunis
Declaration into a Ministerial Declaration
for the Johannesburg WSSD.
2) MIO-ECSDE was invited by the Chair
of the meeting to communicate the
outcome of the Med Multi-Stakeholder
Consultation Meeting of Nov. 13th
to the Drafting Group.
3) The Drafting Group decided to invite
MIO-ECSDE to participate actively
in it.
4) The document resulting from the
Drafting Group was a very solid document,
which incorporated most of the principles
and points proposed in that of the
Multi-Stakeholder Consultation Meeting.
5) The Ministers adopted with minor
changes the output of the Drafting
Group and you will find this Ministerial
Declaration attached herewith as well.
The
Mediterranean Ministerial Declaration
for the Johannesburg Summit is a significant
improvement to the Tunis Declaration
but also of all other documents of
the region: it makes clear reference
to “the precautionary principle”,
the “0.7% of GDP commitment”, the
transfer of appropriate technologies,
to poverty, to education and Education
for Environment and Sustainability,
to Integrated water Resources Management
(IWRM), etc. In conclusion it can
be described as a progressive document,
which elevates the Mediterranean contribution
to the Rio+10 process and could serve
to strengthen Mediterranean environmental
policies.
Please
feel free to distribute the outcome
of the Mediterranean Multi-Stakeholder
Consultation Meeting as widely as
possible.
