CHAIRMAN: Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I declare the First Meeting of Commission III open. I welcome all, and also the representatives of the Secretariat of FAO. I very much count on your help to fulfill our duties in accordance with the established Agenda.
I would also like to thank you very much for my election as Chairman of this Commission, and to inform you that there are two vice-chairman elected Mr Komiti from Samoa and Mr Jusoh from Malaysia. These gentlemen have asked me to convey their thanks to you for their election.
I would like to report that Commission III deals with legal and constitutional questions, and with the administrative and financial matters which have such an impact on the work of the Organization. I wish to draw your attention to Document C 87/12, which sets out arrangements for the Twenty-fourth Session of the Conference and which deals with Conference Resolutions. I presume that all distinguished delegates have an Agenda as established, and that all necessary documents have been distributed.
If you would permit me I would ask Mr Mifsud to give you certain information about the timetable of our work today or tomorrow.
F.M. MIFSUD (Secretary, Commission III): I have only one point to make. The present Order of the Day makes one change to the Conference timetable for the Commission work as set out in document C 87/LIM/26. This related to Agenda Item 22.2, Immunity of the Organization from Legal Process, which was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning, but has been brought forward to this afternoon in case the Commission disposes of the other two Agenda items early enough. We trust that this arrangement meets with the Commission's approval.
CHAIRMAN: Are there any remarks or objections to this statement? I see none.
It was so decided
Il en est ainsi decide
Así se acuerda
Now ladies and gentlemen, allow me also to inform you that as result of consultations into the proposed composition of the Drafting Committee, the following countries have been suggested: Senegal, Ethiopia, Chile, Sudan, Egypt, China, Switzerland, the United States, Denmark and Italy. Distinguished Delegates, are there any queries, remarks or objections concerning these proposals? - I do not see any so I understand that this composition has been approved. Thank you. I propose that during this meeting, or just after, the members of the Drafting Committee meet to elect its Chairman. If that can be done today then I shall be able to inform you who is going to be Chairman; if not, we shall inform you tomorrow morning.
