More important work lies ahead - we have to find a formula that would fit all. Procedural issues must be secondary. Resolution L.16 before us cannot be adopted by a consensus as it stands. There are sound arguments raised by its cosponsors and opponents, and they, although very different, are not totally incompatible. Nothing is impossible, and finding a compromise is even less impossible.
Further consultations have to be undertaken in order to avoid additional confrontation.
Mr. President, Your predecessors worked hard for progress in the Working Group. This time, Mr. President, we urge you to establish an atmosphere that is also conducive to a result-oriented exercise. For that purpose, you will have our full and active support. Thank You, Mr. President.
