The key elements to India's MRV policy are that
national communication (NATCOM) of the actions taken to the
United Nations Framework Convention (UNFCCC) every two years,
the second is that all supported actions like using funds or
technology from abroad would be reported and third domestic
MRV would be conducted by international guidelines.
Domestic MRVs will also be exchanged between parties on
a voluntary basis for information purposes only.
However, after the discussions the question remains
whether these will be reflected in the text since negotiations
will close shortly.
On the mysterious Danish text, Ramesh said it has
"been buried".
India, he said, was worried about the level of
international security and intrusiveness on unsupportive
action on which it was not going to compromise.
On the political declaration, the Minister said the
Danish Prime Minister had stated that it was not a new draft.
"I had asked him whether he has outsourced the
preparation of the declaration. He said he has not outsourced
it. It will be based on two texts that are agreed to by the
negotiating groups," he said.
Ramesh said other important issues for India on which
he had spoken of 'red lines' in Parliament include the
concept of peaking year and the nature of legally binding
commitments.
"We have bigger issues to find out. We should be the
last one to be worried about transparency. We have one of the
most transparent systems in the world. We have on of the most
accountable systems in the world," he said. (More) PTI
