minimum set of technological parameters required for the successful conduct of an inspection should also be determined with the assistance of the facility personnel. Fourthly, there is a need for proposals on a standard form of presentation of data on a plant in a report.

The PRESIDENT: I thank the representative of Yugoslavia, Ambassador Kosin, for his important statement and for the kind words he addressed to the Chair.

Your wide experience and your diplomatic skills are well known to all of us, and I am confident that these skills will help steer our deliberations in the spring session to a successful conclusion. The subject of my intervention today is agenda item 5 "Prevention of an arms race in outer space". Since 1982 the Conference on Disarmament has had this important subject before it.

The mention of "chemicals" and "installations" also hints at a focus on industrial or scientific activities.
