translate English to French: The Delegation stated that it had been hoping that a process decision, rather than a substantive decision, would have been involved therein, and since there had been no substantive issue on which there had been differences, there would be no difficulty in proceeding further.
La délégation a déclaré qu’elle avait espéré que l’on prenne à ce stade une décision sur la forme et non sur le fond et que, dans la mesure où il n’y avait pas de divergences sur les questions de fond, il ne serait pas difficile d’aller plus avant.
