If the tentative work programme is still being followed, today the meeting of the Committee of the Whole continues with its morning session focusing on:

“implementation of the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention relating to the protection of confidential information”

and the afternoon session looking at:

“implementation of the provisions of the Chemical Weapons Convention relating to the general functioning of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.”

It is likely that significant time will be devoted to refining the draft text for the declaration of the conference, and potentially cause negotiations to continue into the evening again today.
