External objective benchmark in project evaluation becomes the bone of contention in CDM group

The most controversial subjects in CDM group became the statement about the external objective benchmark in project evaluation. "European Union's representative tries to make already demanding standards even higher", says Sarah Schwepke, the delegate form Uganda. At the moment, only 2% of projects is distributed to Africa. All countries agree that the present distribution ratio is unfair. China, Russia, Brazil and Uganda oppose rising the standards that are now hard to meet by many developing countries. United Kingdom rises its concerns if the quality of the distribution process will be appropriate in the future. So far the consensus cannot be reached.
