Colleagues,

The following is based upon my voting copy NOT the final text and has been
scanned in from paper (due to my lack of thought in Bordeaux).  I have
edited to match the final version where possible.  I am sure there are
ommisions and errors but I hope it is better to have some information than
none.  I hope you find it useful.

All the resolutions were passed unanimously by the eleven nations present=
=20
and voting.

Regards=20
