I welcome the unanimous adoption of Security Council Resolution 1511. Last night, I heard my colleague, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen, speak of this as an important development. I am pleased that it took as its starting point the reaffirmation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq. It has also underlined the temporary nature of the CPA's powers which will cease when an internationally recognised representative Government, established by the people of Iraq, is sworn in.
