dykes, you will drown in the flood. For those who have serious national security problems, solutions can be found through properly negotiated and agreed procedures for managed access, as was proven by the United Kingdom. The example of the IAEA and the role accredited to its Board of Governors shows that rules and regulations can be found to secure an impartial and proper procedure for international investigations in national installations. We should proceed accordingly. It is not by talking neatly that we can convince other States. It is through their own experience and practice that States can eventually solve problem areas. We therefore urge States which have not yet done so to engage in such trial challenge inspections. We ourselves have done the same. I take pleasure in presenting today our own report on the first trial challenge inspection at an operational air base in the Netherlands. The document will be distributed as CD/1018, concurrently CD/CW/WP.307. A more detailed introduction has already been given in the Ad hoc Committee yesterday. The other pillar of our verification system is constituted by routine inspections. The "rolling text" provides for an elaborate system of such inspections that covers facilities which have been declared to produce scheduled chemicals. It does not, however, cover all those plants which are quite capable of producing chemical weapons and their precursors but which have not been declared. Of course, such facilities would be subject to challenge inspections. My delegation, however, looks upon such inspections as a procedure of last resort: it is esential for the convention, but not for routine use. Easy access to the chemical industry, in a non-intrusive and routine manner, would be a confidence-building measure of major importance. The recent proposal by Australia on ad hoc verification would fully meet our concerns: it would
