3.3 Other formal bodies

Over the years, there has been a number of formal bodies established in the regime for a specific purpose. For example, the Ad-Hoc Group on the Berlin Mandate was established by the first meeting of the Conference of the Parties in 1995 and it existed until 1997. Its purpose was to help with the preparation of binding commitments for Annex I countries. An Ad-Hoc Group on Article 13 was also established in 1995 to advise on the multilateral consultative process in relation to non-compliance.
