I thank the representative of Turkey for his statement.

There are no further speakers on the list. Is there any other Delegation who would like to take the floor at this stage? If that is not the case, let me just briefly inform you how we would want to proceed today. We can, I think, now adjourn this formal plenary meeting and immediately reconvene in an informal plenary meeting with both members and observers to continue the consideration of the draft support for this year’s session. As you know a provisional version has been circulated last Wednesday - revision one – and we can then consider this in an informal plenary which I will suggest starts in five minutes. And hopefully we can come to a successful conclusion as soon as possible so that we can move on to provisional agreeing in an informal meeting and then, of course, it will come to a formal plenary on hopefully on Thursday conclude this year’s session. If that is agreeable it is so decided and we meet again in five minutes in an informal plenary session in this room.

Thank you very much.
