The mandate of the ad hoc Subgroup on Alluvial Production was renewed.

Plenary agreed to renew the mandate of the ad hoc sub group on alluvial production, which is to report at regular intervals on the progress achieved towards implementing the recommendations.

The intersessional meeting and the KP plenary in Moscow have clearly highlighted the importance of finding a solution to specific problems of alluvial producer Participants for the attainment of the KP objectives.

Plenary noted that the Declaration should guide efforts to improve the traceability of alluvial production, as well as help potential donors channel capacity building assistance to further the effective implementation of the Certification Scheme.

Plenary heard the first report of the ad hoc sub group on alluvial production established by the Gatineau Plenary meeting in October 2004, and adopted a Declaration setting out recommendations for effective internal controls over alluvial diamond mining.
