1. “It was clear from the outset that a decision by the Security Council on the situation in Abkhazia, Republic of Georgia, would likely have repercussions for deliberations in the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). As a member State of both the United Nations and the CSCE, Germany felt that it was a matter of consistency to apply the same standards in both forums. We are grateful that this principle has been recognized in the draft resolution. Germany, of course, fully supports the draft resolution before the Council today. Indeed, it has co-- sponsored the draft resolution together with the other members of the Friends group. The draft resolution reflects the important contribution of the Russian Federation in providing a peace-keeping force in Georgia.”

2. “On the contrary, the Secretary-General and his Special Envoy have spared no effort towards achieving progress in the political negotiations and in the talks on a United Nations peace-keeping role. The Security Council, for its part, has played an active role. Over time, it has considered a number of different options. It has repeatedly stressed its willingness to take action. Over the past months, there have also been intensive deliberations within the group of "Friends of Georgia". In considering the issues involved, Germany has maintained close contact with the Georgian Government. In addition, we have sought the views of other interested Member States and taken their ideas into account.”

3. “It is a great pleasure for me to see you, Sir, presiding over the Security Council. Owing to your experience and leadership, the Council has been able to complete its work on the draft resolution before it in what we realize is a very short period of time. As a member of the group of "Friends of Georgia", Germany has been closely involved in the discussions that have resulted in the draft resolution before the Security Council. If much time has passed since the Council first established the United Nations Observer Mission in Georgia (UNOMIG) in August 1993, this has not been because of a lack of effort on the part of the Secretary-General or the Security Council.”
