10.14. The representative of the European Union said the European Union attached great importance to the submitted requests and that it had participated actively in the Symposium that had been organized by the Secretariat on LDC Members' priority needs for technical and financial cooperation. His delegation had entered into contact with all the LDC Members having made the requests, including Senegal. He explained that the EU's technical assistance system was largely based in structures at the capitals of the recipient country. The European Union had already approached the Senegalese authorities, as it had done for other countries, and for a number of them it had already engaged in programmes themselves, some of which had already been implemented.
