I read somewhere that Sweden had an ulterior motive to organize the conference. After the conference began, they put the acid rain issue on the table. The issue had not been on the official agenda, and delegates from other countries (UK, for instance) felt somewhat ambushed into pre-negotiations. Would be interested to hear confirmations or refutation - anyone? Radoslav S.
