The United Kingdom delegation for Conference of the Parties (COP9) will be comprised of officials from the Department of Health and Social Care and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, as has been the case for previous COPs. No registration details, agenda or papers for the November COP ninth session are available at present.

The process for the accreditation of other interested parties such as international inter-governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations for the COP is set out by the Secretariat of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which is available at the following link:
