INC-3 on Mercury Instrument

At the 3rd meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee to Prepare a Global Legally Binding Instrument on Mercury (INC-3), delegates conducted negotiations on the new draft text (UNEP(DTIE)/Hg.INC.3/3), and requested the Secretariat to compile a revised draft text based on the plenary negotiations, the reports of the INC-3 contact groups and the work of the Legal Group. Remaining divisions on issues such as financing and control measures underscored the need for flexibility and serious compromise, which is needed prior to the 27th UNEP Governing Council in 2013 where negotiations are supposed to be concluded.
