also recognizing that strategies or targets could be based, for example, on total emission levels, per capita emissions, climatic conditions or other equitable considerations. We urge all ECE countries to take action now, and we agree to commit to establish national strategies and/or targets and schedules following the report of the IPCC and no later than the start of the negotiations of a framework convention on climate change to limit or reduce Co2 emissions and other greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible and to stabilize them. ,In the view of most ECE countries, such stabilization at the latest'b ,y the year 2000 and at present levels must be the first step. (e) All ECE member countries should work individually and collectively towards reducing 502 and NOx emissions and to· support the early completion of a protocol on VOCs (volatile organic compounds). (f) To recommend that the establishment and implementation of adequate abatement and conservation strategies should be guided by the principle of prevention and minimization of emissions in the most cost beneficial and cost-effective way.and making use, as appropriate, of the best available technologies, which continuously should be improved, not entailing excessive costs. The concept of critical loads should serve as a guideline to formulate these strategies where science has provided the necessary information. (g) To introduce and update an energy labelling system and voluntary agreements or mandatory standards, as may be appropriate, for products and processes aimed at improving energy efficiency of buildings and appliances. Governments should promote improved energy-efficiency in motor vehicles by use of I•• • A/CONF.151/PC/10 English Page 23 labels and other measures that provide information on expected energy consumption and by the setting of guidelines or standards for fuel efficiency for new vehicles. These approaches should be facilitated by co-operative action of 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be focused on environmental issues, specifically climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, and the development of strategies and targets to mitigate them. It also touches on energy efficiency and the use of technology to reduce emissions. The language used is formal and official, suggesting that it may be a policy document or resolution.
