27 February 2009: The first Meeting of the Group of Friends of the Co-Chairs on Liability and Redress under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety convened from 23-27 February 2009, in Mexico City, Mexico.
The meeting continued negotiating international rules and procedures on liability and redress for damage resulting from transboundary movements of living modified organisms in the context of the Biosafety Protocol, and produced a draft text for a supplementary protocol on liability and redress, which will serve as a basis for further consideration at the second meeting of the Group of Friends of the Co-Chairs, to be held in early 2010, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Most delegates agreed that the supplementary protocol is far from complete, but many thought the meeting had put a successful outcome within reach in time for the fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol, to be held from 11-15 October 2010, in Nagoya, Japan.
