AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO REITERATE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE TWELVE TO THE SECRETARY-GENERAL WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED HIS DETERMI- NATION TO FOLLOW-UP SERIOUSLY THE REFORM PROCESS.
THE TWELVE BELIEVE THAT THE SECRETARY GENERAL IN IMPLEMENTING THE PART OF THE REFORM THAT WAS ENTRUSTED TO HIM HAS PERFORMED HIS DUTIES WITH FLEXIBILITY AND POLITICAL JUDGEMENT. THE MATTER NOW IS AT THE HANDS OF MEMBER STATES WHICH MUST SHOW THE SAME KIND OF POLITICAL PERSPICACITY AND DETERMINATION. IN THIS RESPECT WE CANNOT FAIL TO NOTE WITH REGRET THAT THE SPECIAL COMMISSION UNDERTAKING THE IN DEPTH STUDY OF THE UN INTERGOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS IN THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL FIELDS, WAS NOT ABLE SO FAR TO REACH CONCRETE RESULTS. CONCERTED ACTION DURING THE SUMMER SESSION OF ECOSOC LED TO A CONSENSUS RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE RATIONALIZATION OF THE WORK OF ECOSOC. HOWEVER, NO CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS WAS MADE ON OTHER ISSUES. OUR COMMITMENT TO REFORMS REMAINS STRONG AND WE CONSIDER THE REFORM OF ECOSOC ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT PART OF THIS EXERCISE. WE EXPECT THAT OTHER MEMBER STATES WILL NOT LACK THE POLITICAL WILL TO ENGAGE IN FRUITFUL CONSULTATIONS WITH A VIEW TO REACH A SUBSTANTIVE REFORM WHICH WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY ENHANCE THE ABILITY OF OUR ORGANIZATION TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH THE ACTUAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS.
