in particular the use of instruments and equipment. The inspection equipment which was successfully employed in our trial challenge inspection, and on which details are contained in the report I have submitted today, will be demonstrated.

In addition to the heads of delegation one further member from each delegation is invited to attend. The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany will provide transport by special aircraft.

The arrival of the return flight in Geneva is scheduled for approximately 5.30 p.m. on 15 June 1990. A written invitation with further details on the programme of the workshop will be provided as soon as possible.

Additionally, the workshop's focus on the safe and environmentally sound destruction of chemical weapons implies that the category of "Environment" may also be fitting.
