AT THE SAME TIME, THE COMMUNITY AND ITS MEMBER STATES, WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF SENDING A CLEAR SIGNAL OF POLITICAL SUPPORT TO THE VICTIMS OF APARTHEID, AND INTENDING TO CONTRIBUTE TO A NEW ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL BALANCE IN SOUTH AFRICA, HAVE AGREED TO STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAMME OF POSITIVE MEASURES AND TO ADAPT IT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NEW SITUATION, INCLUDING REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO THE RETURN AND RESETTLEMENT OF THE EXILES.
