My experience of attending Council meetings in the past 18 months has been that the same issue appears repeatedly on the agenda and people say the same thing in a different way. The most important aspect of these meetings is that every country, specifically the neutral countries, has an opportunity to outline its policy on neutrality. It is often the case that officials from the Department have had wording changed to reflect our policy of neutrality.
