I feel that the member countries of the G8 recognized that the most important thing, if we want to be successful in Bali, is to achieve, or make progress towards, the cooperation of the major emitters. This is very important and it has eluded us up to now. With your permission, I can provide a little explanation. There will be a meeting of the major emitters who will work towards an agreement that will be included in the process to be begun in Bali and that will be conducive to a global agreement before the end of 2009.
The Bali process begins this year. Up until now it has been very difficult to have an agreement that truly engages all of the major emitters. That's the thing that I think has escaped us in Kyoto to date. But the idea is that major emitters would be convened with a view to achieving a global framework, an idea for reductions, by the end of 2008 that would in turn contribute to a global agreement in the UN process by the end of 2009. So leaders were seized with the urgency of moving quickly. They realized that in order to have a post-2012 agreement, we need to move now, in real time. I think the innovation coming from the G8 was the idea of engaging the major emitters to work by the end of next year on a framework for consideration of the UN process to reach an agreement by the end of 2009.
