TERM QUOTE SOLUTIONS UNQUOTE IN NEW OPERATIVE PARA 3 SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT THE BOARD HAS AUTHORITY TO DECIDE DETAILED ARRANGEMENTS REGARDING PREFERENCES AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION, WHICH CAN IN FACT ONLY BE A MATTER FOR NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS. THIS WAS RECOGNIZED IN PARA 4 OF UNCTAD RESOLUTION 21(11) SUBSTITUTION OF QUOTE CONCLUSIONS UNQUOTE FOR QUOTE SOLUTIONS UNQUOTE WOULD REMOVE THIS IMPLICATION. WE HOPE EEC AND USA WILL JOIN YOU IN SEEKING THIS CHANGE. IF THEY ARE NOT PREPARED TO DO SO AND FIND PRESENT TEXT ACCEPTABLE YOU MAY VOTE IN FAVOUR AS
IT STANDS.
