After long days and nights of fierce negotiation and an incredible build-up of tensions on the last day the Berlin Protocol has been adopted by consensus today at 3.07 pm. Reactions have been very positive and a very harmonious atmosphere reigns among the delegates.
China is very pleased with the outcome and that it has achieved its goals, while emphasizing that it also made substantial concessions given the urgency of the situation.
The US government is "relieved that the international community has managed to put the common interest first".
The success of the negotiations is probably most obviously reflected in the Markus Kuhlmann's (Greenpeace) comments: "I am very happy about reaching an agreement", even though he hastily added: "(...) but it is unacceptable that nuclear energy is still considered an option and we will continue to make our voice heard about this".
Russia was not available for comment.
