Notification 2005-126

Dear Madam/Sir, I am writing in connection with Notification No. 2005-119 (Ref.: SCBD/I&O/CHM/MS/49984) dated 10 November 2005 whereby Parties from the Central and Eastern Europe region were requested to submit a nomination of an expert to participate in the CBD Clearing-House Mechanism and EC Clearing-House Mechanism Joint Regional Meeting for Central and Eastern Europe, to be held in Tallinn, Estonia from 13 to 15 December 2005. In view of the fact that some Parties require additional time in which to complete their nomination, I wish to inform you that the deadline has been extended to Monday, 28 November 2005. The Secretariat will support the participation of one representative from each Central and Eastern European country Party to the Convention. This includes a round-trip air ticket on the most economical and direct route and a Daily Subsistence Allowance (DSA) for the duration of the meeting. Countries that wish to solicit such assistance are requested to provide the required information on the enclosed nomination form and forward it to the Secretariat before Monday, 28 November 2005. Please also note that Parties receiving assistance from the European Environment Agency to attend the meeting are not eligible to receive additional support from the Secretariat.
