combative title for this procedure, as others have suggested. "Inspection on request" is the obvious option. We are conscious that the challenge inspection regime for the chemical weapons convention goes further, and is more all-embracing, than for any other arms control agreements. This is inconvenient, but also unavoidable if chemical weapons verification is to work. Let me add a word about what challenge inspection is not. It is not a licence to spy. Nor is it a device to uncover commercial secrets. The inspection team have no automatic right to be told what actually goes on in any plant they visit. They may leave at the end of the inspection none the wiser about the nature of the activity or the product of the plant inspected. The inspectors' role is limited to satisfying themselves that, whatever else may be produced or stored on the site, the provisions of the chemical weapons convention are not being violated. CD/PV.564 6 (Mr. Waldegrave, United Kingdom) As I have said, we do not pretend to have all the answers. More work is needed on some aspects. Civil chemical plants were not included in our programme. Others may have particular concerns not fully addressed in our work. We have been encouraged by reports from other States which are also undertaking trial challenge inspections. In many respects our experiences point in similar directions. I hope the British paper will help provide a basis on which to build consensus on this key issue. The way will then be much clearer to resolve remaining issues. I hope other member States too will carry this work forward as quickly as possible. If you doubt our findings, go and do the practical inspections for yourself and report back here to the Conference on Disarmament.
**Analysis**

It mentions inspections, challenges, and the role of inspectors. The language used is formal and diplomatic, suggesting a context of international relations and diplomacy.
