The Standing Committee is requested to review the provisions of Resolutions requesting Parties to report on implementation of specific activities through CMS National Reports, as summarized in Annex 4 of UNEP/CMS/COP15/Doc.22, and propose to COP16 their deletion or amendment, and to ensure that any information requested under existing Resolutions is appropriately integrated and consolidated within the National Reports template, in order to avoid duplication of reporting requirements, and that future reporting requests are, as far as possible, addressed through the National Reports mechanism.
