  1. “Lastly, I would like to say that we are convinced that, as was the case with the Counter-Terrorism Committee, providing technical assistance to Member States for the implementation of the resolution will become another essential aspect of the Committee's work as it moves forward with its tasks.”

  2. “We welcome the fact that the Committee's functioning is following a path similar to that of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, which is to say that it is governed by the same principles of cooperation, equal treatment and transparency. We believe it essential for that to continue. To ensure that there is transparency in the Committee's work, we encourage the Committee leadership to continue the sound practice, begun today and also followed by the CTC, of submitting regular reports to the Security Council, at least every three months. We also urge it to continue to hold periodic informal meetings with all interested Member States. The imminent launch of the Committee's web site will also make an important contribution to transparency in its work.”

  3. “In order to facilitate the Committee's work and to avoid overlap, we believe it especially relevant that it establish as soon as possible a fluid working relationship with international organizations and regimes with experience in the area of non- proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as well as with subsidiary bodies of the Security Council with competency in the field of counter-terrorism, including the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) and the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1267 (1999) concerning Al Qaeda and the Taliban. We also find very relevant the suggestion made by the Russian delegation that, following the practice of the CTC, the Committee in the future consider holding periodic meetings with international, regional and subregional organizations working in the area of non-proliferation.”

  4. “Given the considerable number of national reports received, my country welcomes the fact that the Committee has been given the necessary tools to enable it to begin the vital task of studying those reports and to eventually brief the Security Council on the degree of compliance with the resolution. In that connection, we are relieved to know that the Committee has now agreed to immediately hire four experts to assist it with its work, and that two additional experts will be hired in the near future.”

  5. “As part of the global struggle against terrorism and of the process begun by resolution 1373 (2001), Spain decided to co-sponsor resolution 1540 (2004) and called for the establishment of a Council committee to serve as a follow-up mechanism to the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Spain would like to congratulate the States that have already submitted national reports on the measures adopted to implement resolution 1540 (2004). We encourage States that have not yet done so to submit their reports as soon as possible. We also call upon States that are encountering technical difficulties in the preparation of their national reports to so inform the Committee and to request the assistance they deem necessary to overcome those difficulties.”

  6. “Mr. Colomina (Spain) (spoke in Spanish): I would first of all like to thank Ambassador Motoc for the concise briefing he has just made and for his excellent work and great efforts at the head of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Spain shares the concern of those who believe that the possibility that non-State actors - terrorists in particular - may acquire weapons of mass destruction and related materials poses a real, serious and present threat to international peace and security. We therefore believe that it is necessary to take urgent action to close the legal gap that results from the fact that international non-proliferation and disarmament instruments and regimes do not adequately address this sensitive matter.”
