India says the BASIC countries were very happy with the two draft texts on the Kyoto Protocol and a long-term action to combat climate change. Following the circulation of two draft texts in Cancun, prepared by climate negotiators from almost 200 nations, Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said that the outcome was “acceptable” to India. He said that many of India's contribution had been incorporated in the text including the International Consultation and Analysis. This is a transparency mechanism to review whether developing countries are carrying out their domestic mitigation actions. He pointed out that under the current texts, developed countries were subject to stricter scrutiny on their mitigation cuts than developing countries. Ramesh said Cancun represented an important step forward.
