Conference Reports
The Conference will have two main outputs:
- Summary Report
- Main Conference Report
The Summary Report will be produced immediately after the Maastricht Conference. It will be short, focusing on the main conclusions and findings of the Conference.
The Main Conference Report will be made available for wide-ranging distribution. It will consist of:
- an extended technical section based on the various Conference inputs;
- summaries of the discussions;
- the main findings and conclusions.
The Reports and FAO
The Hundred and Sixteenth Session of FAO Council held in June 1999 recommended that the Summary Report be submitted to the Hundred and Seventeenth Session of the FAO Council for information and guidance, and to the Thirtieth Session of the FAO Conference for information.
The Council also proposed that the Hundred and Seventeenth Session of the Council be called upon to consider the status of the summary report submitted to the Thirtieth Session of the FAO Conference, and to decide whether, in the light of the substance of the Summary Report, the status should be upgraded to that of a document for discussion and decision.
In addition, these two reports will be used in the preparations for FAO's contribution to CSD-8 in April, 2000.
