RATION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS AS IN ORIGINAL EPC DRAFT, I. E. AS LAST SENTENCE OF SUB-PARA 4. (REF. ASEAN COUNTER-PROPO-
SAL).
2.7 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 7: (CAMBODIA)
BASIS OF THIS PARAGRAPH IS THE ASEAN TEKST, CAMBODIA BE-
ING A SOUTH-EAST-ASIAN PROBLEM.
THE WORD

T 1
CAMBODIA SEEMS TO BE PREFERABLE TO THE WORD
'KAMPUCHEA' AS LONG AS IT IS USED GEOGRAPHICALLY AND NOT AS PART OF 'DK'' OR ''PRK''.
IN THE ASEAN TEKST PRINCE SIHANOUK IS MENTIONED FOUR TIMES. THAT SEEMS ABUNDANT. THE ASEAN PASSAGE WHICH SAYS THAT LASTING PEACE IN CAMBODIA RESTS UPON VIETNAM'S WILLING- NESS TO TALK DIRECTLY WITH THE PRINCE, SEEMS TO BE EKSAGGE - RATED.
PRESIDENCY BELIEVES THAT THE RED KHMER HORRORS SHOULD BE MENTIONED AND HAS RETAINED THE EUROPEAN PASSAGE IN A SLIGHTLY SOFTER LANGUAGE SO AS TO MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE TO
ASEAN.
2.8 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 8 (REFUGEES) PRESIDENCY PROPOSES TO ACCEPT THE ASEAN VERSION AS THE REFUGEE PROBLEMS IS MAINLY ONE OF SOUTH EAST ASIA. WITH RE- SPECT TO THE THIRD SENTENCE PRESIDENCY HAS REPLACED 'MUST CONTINUE BY 'SHOULD BE REGARDED AS''

2.9 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 9 (AFGHANISTAN)
PRESIDENCY WILL PROPOSE A TEKST ON AFGHANISTAN ON MON-
18TH APRIL AT THE LATEST.
2.10 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 10 (MIDDLE EAST):
UPON DANISH REQUEST, PRESIDENCY HAS INCLUDED THE REFE- RENCE TO THE DECLARATION OF DECEMBER 5, 1987 (CPE COP 072).
PRESIDENCY FINDS IT DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT ASEAN'S SUGGESTION TO INCLUDE A SENTENCE AS TO THE INALIENABLE RIGHT OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE TO SELF-DETERMINATION WITHOUT AT THE SAME TIME MENTIONING THE RIGHT OF EKSISTANCE OF ALL STATES OF THE REGION, INCLUDING ISRAEL. WE HAVE, THEREFORE, DELETED A SEAN'S AMENDMENT.

11 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 11 (SOUTHERN AFRICA): ASEAN'S AMENDMENT OF THE LAST SENTENCE SEEMS ACCEPTABLE TO THE PRESIDENCY AND WAS THEREFORE INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLI-
DATED DRAFT TEKST.
2.12 WITH RESPECT TO OLD PARA 12 (CENTRAL AMERICA): PRESIDENCY IS OF THE OPINION THAT ASEAN'S CLEAR RE- QUEST TO DELETE THE WHOLE PARAGRAPH CANNOT BE TURNED DOWN.
2.13 WITH RESPECT TO NEW PARA 12 (NARCOTICS):
WAS ACCEPTED ENTIVELY BY ASEAN AND REMAINS UNCHANGED
