India on Tuesday said it has allowed a conditional association with the Copenhagen Accord on climate change, after three months of deliberations, reported local newspaper The Times of India electronic edition Tuesday night.

Indian environment minister Jairam Ramesh told the newspaper that India has "made the conditional association" with the UN Copenhagen Accord.

India has reiterated that the accord is meant to facilitate the ongoing negotiations in the two tracks of the UN negotiations and it is not a legally binding document.

India has also demanded that all its conditions, including that the pact will not become a new track of negotiations or a " template for outcomes", be indicated in the Copenhagen Accord, said the newspaper.
