(Montreal, 30 November 2005)

Under the Kyoto Protocol, which entered into force 16 February 2005, more than 30
industrialized countries are bound by specific and legally binding emission reduction targets. As a first step, these cover the period 2008-2012.
The President of the Conference, which includes the first ever meeting of the 157 Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, Stéphane Dion, said: ?The Kyoto Protocol is now fully operational. This is an historic step.?
