Revised estimates relating to section 34 of the programme budget for the biennium 2012-2013 for remediation work in the aftermath of storm Sandy
Statement by the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Administrative aÿd Budgetary Questions to the Fifth Committee
(ACABQ report A/67/789)
Mr. Chairman,
I am pleased to introduce the Advisory Committee's report on revised esthnates for remediation work in the aftermath of storm Sandy, which is contained in document A/67/789.
Overall, given the magnitude of the sums involved, the uncertainty regarding the timing of insurance claim settlements and the urgent need to proceed with the remediation work, the Advisory Committee agrees with the short- to medium-term approach to funding proposed by the Secretary-General in his report.

Other players do not distinguish
Continuous monitoring is applied in all sectors, but especially in coal, plus monthly for coal and annually for oil and gas
CH4 emission standardization mandated by law more often for coal than for oil and gas

Survey Conclusions
ENERGY
Methane management attracting attention
Information regarding methane emissions has improved
Much effort and resources are going into remediation
A range of practices exist
BUT
The essential conclusions remain unchanged: Data collection is not rigorous nor comprehensive; estimates not
verified
Procedures for MRV and remediation are variable
Enormous opportunity for knowledge enhancement and remediation
5
GEG Session Key Takeaways
ENERGY
Survey identified critical gaps in information on methane emissions.
Recommended that work on best practice guidelines and methods to manage and reduce methane emissions be continued in the 2018– 2019 work plan.
Survey highlighted the need to update and refine data to reflect more accurately volumes of methane emissions.
Future work should be carried out in close collaboration with other international mechanisms, companies, organizations and associations
UNECE invites all interested parties to join this effort.

Survey + GEG Session Conclusions and recommendations
ENERGY
Explores current practices and technologies along the value chain in key energy-related extractive industries.
Seeks to: • Determine and promote best practices for measurement, reporting, and
verification (MRV) of methane emissions in these industries.
• Identify and disseminate best practices to reduce methane emissions.
Four subject-specific pillars: • Coal
• Downstream Oil (processing through distribution),
• Downstream Gas
• Upstream Oil and Gas (i.e. exploration and production)

In this context, I would like to emphasize the importance of Principle 6 of the 2006 draft on "International and domestic remedies" as regards adoption of relevant national and international legal frameworks to provide easy access to remedy by victims and that of Principle 7 concerning "Development of specific international regimes" whose consideration by Member States would improve the existing legal arsenal to prevent and provide remedy for victims of transboundary harm resulting from hazardous activities and pave the way for more harmonized compensation.
(...) Moreover, as vast territories in Iran have been exposed to transboundary harm and many people have been suffering from and remain prone to serious health problems particularly resulting from haze, the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that should all Member States consider their due diligence in case of transboundary harm, no State will remain injured and uncompensated and no victim will remain without remedy.
In the end, I have to reiterate our interest in following up the issue.

A Member shall apply safeguard measures only to the extent necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment. (...) Since the safeguard measure in US – Line
Pipe is a tariff, not a quantitative restriction, the Appellate Body upheld the panel's conclusion that an importing Member is not required to demonstrate, at the time of imposition, that the line pipe measure was "necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilitate adjustment". (...) Rather, we believe that the question of adjustment, along with the question of preventing or remedying serious injury, must be a part of the authorities' reasoned explanation of the measure it has chosen to apply.

judgement, that the sentence be accordingly reduced as a remedy and sanction for the
Prosecution’s continuing violation of its disclosure obligations.39

examine whether or not the accused has been prejudiced by the relevant breach.57

For the purposes of discussion it might be useful to separate analytically the issues of trigger and remedy while noting that:
· The current quantity-based SSG has a fixed remedy ("one third of the level of the ordinary customs duty in effect in the year in which the action is taken") and a variable trigger;
· The current price-based SSG has a fixed trigger and a remedy that varies depending on the difference between import price and price trigger; and
· The new quantity- and price-based SSMs could, as proposed by G-33, have variable remedies and fixed triggers (or, to be more correct, the reference period for the trigger is fixed relative to the year in which the SSM might be applied).
(...) However, this could be taken as a change in the character of the SSM from safeguard to countervailing duty and goes beyond the narrow objective of protecting against import quantity and price fluctuations per se.
Quantity-based remedy
15. Several ideas have been put forward of what should be the remedy under the quantity-based SSM. (...) In consultations, other delegations have suggested caps on the remedy e.g. to prevent total duty rising above UR bound rates.
