Concludes that, in view of the technical constraints and problems encountered in the preparation of national communications, namely difficulties relating to, inter alia, the quality and availability of data, emission factors and methodologies for an assessment of the effects of climate change and impacts of response measures, there is a need for financial and technical resources to maintain and enhance national capacities in non-Annex I Parties for preparing national communications; Requests, in accordance with Article 12, paragraph 5, of the Convention, each non-Annex I Party which has not submitted its initial national communication within three years of the entry into force of the Convention for that Party, or of the availability of financial resources in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Convention, to do so as soon as possible, on the understanding that Parties that are least developed countries may make their initial national communications at their discretion; Requests the secretariat to prepare for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation at its nineteenth session:
Prie, conformément au paragraphe 5 de l'article 12 de la Convention, chacune des Parties non visées à l'annexe I qui n'a pas présenté sa communication initiale dans les trois ans qui ont suivi l'entrée en vigueur de la Convention à son égard, ou la mise à disposition des ressources financières prévues au paragraphe 3 de l'article 4 de la Convention, de le faire dès que possible, étant entendu que les Parties qui sont au nombre des pays les moins avancés sont libres du choix de la date de leur communication initiale;
