We will book the 7.15 p.m. slot. The meeting will not take too long.

I wish to point out, with the media listening, that reports on the aforementioned document appeared on the front page of a newspaper yesterday. I must stress that the document sent to members by email was a working document produced by the secretariat based on its best summation of the meetings of the committee. I am saying this in order to inform members of the media that when they receive copies of such a document, they must be aware that it is not a document into which members of the committee had an input. It is not an official committee document. What was printed in the report I read yesterday may not concur with the final document issued by the committee. We intend to publish our report on Wednesday, 13 March, having signed off on it next week. Those who attend the meeting next week will be given a hard copy. No further electronic copies will be prepared or issued. Some member of the committee has acted unfairly by circulating the working document, but I do not know what I can do about that matter. There are 13 committee members, one of whom has acted unfairly. In that context, no further hard copies will be issued until the launch of the report.
