The United Nations Controller explained that the UNCTAD secretariat was prepared to recommend to the Trade and Development Board changes in the UNCTAD calendar so that the costs could be absorbed. The 10 days required to accommodate the resumed session of the Conference could be found if the proposed meeting of the Working Group on International Shipping Legislation was cancelled and if the second session of the Ad Hoc Intergovernmental Group to Consider Means of Combating all Aspects of Maritime Fraud, including Piracy, was postponed.
