Is to be noted that <strong>the</strong> certification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> achieved reductions <strong>of</strong> GHGs due to <strong>the</strong> project<br />
operation <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> quantity <strong>and</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> corresponding CERs, becomes <strong>the</strong><br />
responsibility <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> certifying DOE.<br />
No Mexican organization has been appointed DOE by <strong>the</strong> CDM Executive Board.<br />
CDM Executive Board (CDM-EB)<br />
Operates under <strong>the</strong> authority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> UNFCCC COP/MOP. Is composed by an equitable<br />
representation <strong>of</strong> Annex I <strong>and</strong> no-Annex I countries. The CDM-EB is responsible <strong>for</strong>:<br />
• Recommendations to <strong>the</strong> COP/MOP on scope <strong>and</strong> procedures <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> CDM.<br />
• Approving methodologies related to baselines, monitoring plans <strong>and</strong> project<br />
boundaries.<br />
• Simplified procedures <strong>for</strong> small-scale projects.<br />
• Accrediting <strong>and</strong> designating operational entities.<br />
• Making publicly available proposed CDM activities.<br />
• Acceptance <strong>of</strong> a project <strong>for</strong> registration. Constitutes <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>mal international<br />
acceptance <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> validated project.<br />
• Developing <strong>and</strong> maintaining a CDM project registry.<br />
• Reviewing project validation <strong>and</strong> verification reports.<br />
• Issuing CERs, after <strong>the</strong> DOE verification <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> monitoring data.<br />
Is to be noted that CERs may accrue from <strong>the</strong> year 2000 (but to be claim be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>the</strong> 31 st <strong>of</strong><br />
December 2005) <strong>and</strong> hence projects may already be under implementation be<strong>for</strong>e<br />
registration by <strong>the</strong> CDM-EB.<br />
Finally, under <strong>the</strong> authority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Executive Board, <strong>the</strong> CDM Registry Administration<br />
<strong>for</strong>wards <strong>the</strong> CERs into <strong>the</strong> appropriate accounts, <strong>for</strong>malizing <strong>the</strong> CER’s ownership.<br />
Is to be noted that in many quarters <strong>the</strong> CDM rulings have been considered not always<br />
practical or consistent <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> approval <strong>and</strong> authorization, some steps have been proposed to<br />
improve <strong>the</strong> situation.<br />
I.3.2. MEXICAN OFFICIAL PIPELINE OF CDM PROJECTS 107<br />
Projects with No-Objection or Approval Letters<br />
With a Letter <strong>of</strong> Approval or Letter <strong>of</strong> No-Objection, <strong>the</strong>y are 22 non <strong>for</strong>est projects at <strong>the</strong> Mexican<br />
CDM pipeline at different stages <strong>of</strong> implementation. These projects represent a potential annual<br />
reduction <strong>of</strong> 5.9 million tons <strong>of</strong> CO 2 equivalent. Up to date, no Mexican project has been registered<br />
internationally, but some projects are being process at <strong>the</strong> initial stages <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> CDM-EB pipeline, as<br />
described later. Additionally, 2 agro<strong>for</strong>estry projects are being processed.<br />
