CHAIRMAN: Good morning, dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen. For those who do not know me, my name is Carlos Paranhos and I am the Deputy Permanent Representative of Brazil. As Vice-Chairman of this Commission, I have the pleasure of conducting the work today at the request of Mr Sinaceur. As you are probably aware, work tomorrow will be conducted by our colleague from the Netherlands, Mr Janus.

Today we are going to deal with Item 10 of the Agenda, the Programme Evaluation Report 1992-93, and the basic reference documents are C 93/4, the Programme Evaluation Report for 1992-93, and C 93/LIM/9, which is the Programme Evaluation Report, Extract from the Report of the 103rd Session of the Council held last June. This Programme Evaluation Report, as you will recall, is part of the quartet to which Dr Shah referred yesterday.

It is my intention to fully respect what was decided by our Chairman yesterday and to have a 15-minute break at 11:00. I have been threatened that if I do not make the 11:00 break, there will be anti-Brazilian demonstrations, so it is my intention to respect the morning and afternoon break. I would ask our dear friends to be brief in their interventions.
