Abstract
Common and co-ordinated policies and measures for combating climate change — informally referred to as PAMs — were a major issue during the pre-Kyoto process because of the high priority the EU attached to this subject. However, the provisions on PAMs finally agreed on in the Kyoto Protocol are hardly far-reaching. In particular, they lack specificity and do not legally require Parties to take any further action. This sharply contrasts with the great importance which the PAMs issue had possessed over long stretches of the negotiations.
