Committee, the position of the Front Uni de liberation Kanak (FULK) has not changed. We condemn the Matignon Agreement and we support the proposals of the Front de liberacion nationale kanak socialiste (FLNKS) to adjust the texts of the Agreement in order to guarantee Kanak independence, particularly with respect to the electoral tody am the duration of the plan. We support also the consensus reached on 10 May at Port Vila between the Government of Vanuatu, FL?~S and FULK for the establishnent of a plan for unity and independence outside the Matignon Agreement. I would draw the Committee• s attention to the importance of this new initiative, which could facilitate the Committee's task and make international support more effective -and hence, 11ake the decolonization of New Caledonia more effective. The Front Uni de liberation Kanak, which remains the only party in FLI«S that continues to work for the application of the charter for the liberation struggle of FLNKS, is ready and willinq to co-operate with the other components of FLNKS in order to find a new canmon strategy vis-a-vis the Matignon Agreement. Mr. Uregei withdrew. The CHAIRMAN: We have thus concluded the hearings on this item. On behalf of the Committee and on my own behalf, I exprem appreciation to the petitioners for their statements and for the information they have furnished the Committee.
