Developing safe and efficient alternatives to ozone-depleting substances (ODS) is a priority for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at present, a senior Kuwaiti environment official has said.
Chairman and Director General of the Environment Public Authority (EPA) Sheikh Abdullah Ahmad Al-Humoud Al-Sabah made the statement to KUNA on Thursday after a consultation meeting for the Undersecretaries of the GCC environment affairs ministries.
The meeting discussed topics on the agenda of the 27th Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, Dubai.
Leading the Kuwaiti delegation to the GCC meeting, Sheikh Abdullah stressed keenness by the EPA on having ceaseless consultations with other GCC states on relevant issues of common concern to unify the GCC stance in November negotiations.
The delegation included EPA senior officials and a member of the National Ozone Committee (NOC) of Kuwait Yaqoub Al-Matouq.
