Issuance of the document "Requirements for the CDM designated operational entities"

Please note that the CDM accreditation panel has decided to issue the document, "Requirements for the CDM designated operational entities" for the convenience of applicant entities. The document is available on the UNFCCC CDM web site, under the link guidance - clarifications in the reference section on the main page (http://cdm.unfccc.int ) Taking note of the fact that requirements for the operational entities are contained in many documents which poses difficulties to applicant entities in referring to these documents. The information related to key requirements for the operational entities is compiled in this document. Please also note that this document is published for convenience only. Other documents approved by COP/MOP or the Executive Board before and after the issuing of this document include information relevant for the duties of Designated Operational Entities and hence, the Designated Operational Entities therefore have to be aware of existing relevant documents and ensure that they are up to date with all relevant information. In case of dispute, the CDM M&P and other documents approved by COP/MOP or the Executive Board should be referred to.
