General Assembly 13-6C

In order to provide reconciliation and to ensure a stable environment for all members in the period after revision of the standards, any changes to RSPO P&C prior to its prescribed revision period shall be restricted. Additionally, there shall be no changes to key documents, i.e., NPP and FPIC adopted by the General Assembly (GA), Board of Governors (BoG), Secretariat or the Standing Committees, that would introduce new requirements on the palm oil growers members during the period of the first two years after the endorsement of the revised RSPO P&C. The only documents exempted from this rule shall be the National Interpretation (NI) and the Local Indicators (LI) which would allow members to use this period to adapt the P&C to the laws valid at the different countries.
