As to the outstanding multilateral issues, the momentum we have generated towards concluding this accession rapidly can be clearly seen. The Secretariat will, of course, circulate these texts to all members of this Working Party as soon as they are received. My strong preference is to let members have these texts before our next meeting so as to make multilateral agreement smoother. I therefore urge China and the most interested delegations to intensify their consultations on these subjects in the same spirit of flexibility that they have shown this week, and, of course, I remain fully available to assist in whatever way possible. Still on the subject of multilateral issues, we should not forget the questions we have not addressed this time.
Quick progress is vital for our success.
I am sure that these will go a long way towards finalisation of multilateral viable texts in these areas. I believe we did well this time to focus only on the more promising areas. But, it is clear that our next meeting will be even more meaningful if we can address all the pending issues in the same focussed manner as we proceeded to do this time. Here, I mean texts both for the Draft Protocol and, where needed, for the Draft Report. I suggest, therefore, that this is the task we set for ourselves when we meet next.
