Submission incomplete:
1: The PP/DOE are requested to include the details of each parameter listed as per EB 48 Annex 60 paragraph 10 (a).
The PDD on page 32 states that the same values for Biomass Expansion factor (BEF) and Basic Wood Density (Dj) should be used in the ex post and in the ex ante calculations. However, BEF and Dj are included as monitored parameters, the values of which shall be determined during monitoring (page 34 of PDD). The DOE is requested to verify which approach is observed for determining the two parameters, and to update the relevant sections of the PDD accordingly.

2: 2: The DOE is requested to confirm on section A. Approval, page 12, of the validation report whether the DNA of Senegal in the LoA is authorizing the participant Océanium for the project activity. This is because the LoA from Senegal is addressed to Danone. The DOE may update the information in the validation report for consistency with the LoA issued by Senegal (a new LoA from Senegal is not required). In doing so please refer to VVM v1.2 paragraph 49.


3: The DOE is requested to provide information on the steps taken to validate the project starting date as per VVM v 1.2 paragraph 104 (a).
The DOE has validated the project starting date to be 27/06/2008 when the first main purchase (a moto) was made in relation to the project activity. The DOE is requested to further explain: (a) the purpose behind the purchase of the moto and (b) how this date corresponds to the definition of project starting date of A/R small-scale projects (CDM Glossary of terms, page 28) which states that the starting date of an SSC A/R CDM project activity is the date at which the implementation or real action of an SSC A/R CDM project activity begins marks as the date of real implementation of the project.

4: The DOE is requested to describe the steps undertaken to assess if the monitoring arrangements are feasible to be implemented within the project design as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 124(b).
The DOE is requested to validate the sampling procedure in the PDD, in particular the calculation of the number of sample plots carried out on page 30 of the PDD.

5: The DOE is requested to provide information on the PPs' ability to implement the monitoring plan as per VVM v1.2 paragraph 124(c).
The DOE is requested to provide a statement in the validation report on the PP's ability to implement the monitoring plan.
