After four days of discussions, the Fourth Meeting of the Agreement's Advisory Committee was closed in Somerset West, South Africa on the afternoon of 25 August by the committee's Chair, Marco Favero, following the adoption of the meeting's report.

Delegates from 10 of the 11 Parties to the Agreement, one signatory state, four range states and five NGOs all agreed the meeting had been most fruitful, with many matters discussed and resolved. It is expected that the final report of the meeting will be available on the Agreement's web site within a short time period in all three official languages.

Grateful thanks were offered to the host country from the delegates and the secretariat for its excellent arrangements made for the meeting.
