Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
We were discussing the work that my team had done on examining cases that were determined by the scope section. We looked at a sample of 25 cases and found that the process as described by the Secretary General was the process that was applied. No off-the-shelf determinations were made. There was actual consideration of the criteria in individual cases.
