this point. But is the case a unique one? Is it a reason for retreating into an all-or-nothing attitude? For my part, I prefer to see in it an obligation for all delegations to seek together the means of linking two legal instruments that, while they are very different, are both, for reasons peculiar to each of them, essential and that go in the same direction. This kind of balanced approach has shown its worth on another highly controversial subject, that of assistance, for which Ambassador Garcia Moritan of Argentina has consolidated remarkably the first bases that were laid last year. A real compromise is now possible for the purposes of finalizing article X. Let us take this opportunity which has been patiently developed from contrary approaches. It concerns an important, sensitive subject of exemplary value. Similarly, we are convinced that a compromise is possible today with a little effort on all sides, with regard to article XI on economic and technological co-operation. This leads me to the very useful dialogue that we had recently with representatives of industry on confidentiality and product lists. We moved beyond exchanges of views setting two contradictory approaches against each other to recognize together that between the present stage and the full implementation of the convention well planned transitions will enable the convention to be adapted, to some extent, to the realities of industry without sacrificing the prime imperative of the security of States parties. Lastly, it should be noted that no progress has been possible during this session on institutional matters, especially for the Executive Council, which cannot be left, as some believe, to the last quarter of an hour or worse still, until after the convention. It would be too easy and perhaps fatal for the proper functioning of the future Organization. There cannot be a good convention without clearly defined institutions.
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a diplomatic statement discussing the progress and challenges of an international convention. It mentions specific articles and issues, such as assistance, economic and technological cooperation, and institutional matters. The tone is conciliatory and emphasizes the need for compromise and cooperation among delegations.
