Elizabeth May

(His voice hoarse, clearly tired) I speak for a country whose survival depends on the decisions we take. No one can doubt my interest in this matter.  It is a negotiation. We don't always get what we want. For the last year, we have said the Cancun talks should develop the building blocks for an agreement in Durban. And we should not take time now. We should accept these packages. Can you really hear the applause in the audience, (wild applause again. Civil society is loud) that speaks for itself!

More applause and cheering.

President announces we will go to Working Groups and then back to Plenary. That announcement took a little oxygen out of the room!

Singapore. We have helped build confidence and trust. Text reflects a delicate balance. This is not an end but an important step. It lays a strong foundation.
