The Convention and the CMS Family of instruments have a specific role as a primary delivery framework for the SPMS, as well as their subsidiary bodies and national focal points.
Existing delivery mechanisms and activities include among others relevant CMS Family decisions, typically in the form of COP/MOP resolutions, action plans, guidelines, programmes and initiatives supporting the SPMS.
Under this functional heading the Companion Volume aims to contain those elements of these delivery mechanisms, of direct relevance to each of the 16 targets.
