JVM/4 A/S-18/PV.2 14-15 The PRESIDENT: Before I call on the next speaker I should like to reiterate what I said this morning about the length of statements. We have a very lengthy list of speakers, and unless we keep to the 15-minute rule we might not finish in time. This afternoon we have 20 speakers. So I appeal to my colleagues to try to tailor their statements to the 15-minute rule.
