The Chairman expressed his appreciation to the delegations concerned and the Secretariat for their contributions and preparations that had made the workshop held the previous week very useful and constructive. He encouraged those delegations to continue their discussions in order to facilitate their work and enhance the quality of reporting. He urged those developed country Members who had not yet provided reports to do so as soon as possible, and reiterated his intention to provide another opportunity, at the Council's next meeting, for Members to make further comments on the information submitted for the present meeting that they had not yet been able to study.
