delegations for their useful contributions which had led to the successful adoption of a balanced consensus report. 58. The representative of France noted that the report was balanced in that it reflected adequately the diversity of IDCs with respect to their assets and constraints as well as the viewpoints of the IDCs and donors. She said that the text of the Chairperson was in line with General Assembly resolutions 41/163 and 43/189, which dealt with measures in favour of IDCs that related to their respective problems. She said furthermore that these were reflected in the Lome IV Convention. She pointed out therefore that this did not call for a new grouping. Finally, she expressed the concern that the range of studies proposed in the report was extensive. In her delegation's view, these studies did not take into consideration the priorities of the member States of UNCTAD - in respect to the whole question of LDCs - and the limited resources of UNCTAD secretariat. Her delegation reserved the right to express further views in the Trade and Development Board of UNCTAD and in the General Assembly. 59. The representative of Norway lauded the work of the meeting and hoped that the report would be a useful basis for future action in favour of the IDCs. 60. The representative of Trinidad and Tobago also appreciated the excellent work of the Chair, which had contributed greatly to enabling the meeting to adopt a balanced consensus document. He was grateful for the flexibility of the donors in their deliberations at this Meeting. In concluding, he thanked the delegations of other developing countries for their solidarity. 61. The representatives of Malta. Mauritius and Vanuatu also commended the excellent work by the Chairperson in directing the work of the Meeting and in the results achieved.
