The UNEP/CMS Secretariat is pleased to announce that the deadline for the submission of National Reports to the Secretariat has been extended to 16 May 2014. Parties are kindly requested to submit their reports via the Online Reporting System (http://cms-family-ors.unep-wcmc.org/) on or before that date.

Please note that while National Reports will be accepted after 16 May 2014, any that reach the Secretariat after the deadline will not be considered in the analysis and synthesis of National Reports that will be prepared for the COP.

Any queries about the system should be directed to the CMS Capacity Building Officer, Francisco Rilla ([email protected]) or Natalie Epler ([email protected]).
