Ambassador Yonov Agah (Nigeria)
European Union
C TRANSITIONAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 18 OF THE PROTOCOL OF THE ACCESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
28. The representative of the European Communities said that his delegation had submitted seven pages of questions, 36 paragraphs, and that to read them out would be wasting time. His delegation would therefore prefer for China to respond to the questions that had already been put in writing and then possibly to additional questions that Members may raise on the basis of these responses. This process did not have the character of a tribunal. His delegation was simply applying the agreement and posing its questions, and expected a proper response.
