“I will also make full use of such opportunities to continue to address the issue of further reporting. As a final point on transparency, I encourage Member States to designate points of contact for resolution 1540 (2004) and to make direct contact with the Committee's members and its experts to seek any necessary clarification on the issues covered in their correspondence with the Committee or on matters related to resolution 1540 (2004) in general. In addition, the Committee, with the support of its experts, may, when it is deemed appropriate, contact States to seek further clarification from them on issues arising from their reports. In conclusion, on behalf of the Committee, I look forward to the cooperation of all States as the Committee goes forward with its work in the months ahead.”

“In the same vein, the Committee will maintain close relations and cooperation with the CTC and the Al-Qaida/Taliban sanctions Committee, as provided for in resolution 1566 (2004). Transparency has been, and continues to be, an important objective of the work of the 1540 Committee. The Chairman and the Vice-Chairmen will reach out on a regular basis to Member States, including through common briefings with the Chairmen of the CTC and of the Committee dealing with Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions. The 1540 Committee will keep its dedicated web site updated as an additional source of information on issues related to resolution 1540 (2004). The Committee will also continue to inform organizations outside the United Nations about our work, through attendance at international, regional and subregional meetings and conferences.”

“Gustavo Zlauvinen, Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency Office at the United Nations, on ways in which those organizations can support the work of the Committee and contribute to the process of implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). The Committee has also received letters from other organizations, such as the Nuclear Suppliers Group and the Zangger Committee, expressing willingness to assist in the work of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). As the process of examining national reports evolves, the Committee will interact and cooperate, as appropriate, with relevant international, regional and subregional organizations in order to facilitate the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Working relationships with such organizations will be developed, as appropriate.”

“In my capacity as Chairman of the 1540 Committee, I have continued to raise the issue of further reporting through briefings with Member States, informal contact at the United Nations with the coordinators of regional groups and sending reminders to those that have yet to report. I remain committed to pursuing such endeavours in the future work of the Committee, on its behalf. I am also very encouraged that the issues of improving further reporting and late submissions will be considered in a coordinated manner by the various Committees. On the interaction with international organizations, I am pleased to report that, on 13 April 2005, the Committee was briefed in a formal meeting by Mr. Rogelio Pfirter, Director General of the Technical Secretariat of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, and by Mr.”

“I would like to use this opportunity to renew my call to States that have yet to submit their first report as called for by the Council in resolution 1540 (2004). Their reports will enable the Committee to present to the Council, by the end of its mandate, an objective picture of what has been achieved in terms of implementation and of what should be done going forward. I assume that some countries may encounter difficulties in drafting their national reports or in enacting appropriate legislation to fulfil the requirements of resolution 1540 (2004). Informing the Committee of such difficulties will help it to identify and respond to requests for assistance from those States lacking the legal and regulatory infrastructure, implementation experience or necessary resources.”

“In considering national reports, the Committee will start examining possible sources of technical assistance for States that have requested such assistance in order to implement resolution 1540 (2004). Discussions on where assistance is already being provided and on facilitating necessary technical assistance will form part of the examination process. With respect to reporting, Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) calls upon all States to present to the Committee a first report, not later than 28 October 2004, on steps that they have taken or intend to take to implement the resolution. The status of reporting is presented on the web site of the Committee, and is kept up to date. As of today, 115 States and one organization have submitted reports to the 1540 Committee.”

“The Committee believes that it needs additional information from States in order to better determine implementation efforts, and it will reach out to them, with the support of its experts, both in New York and in capitals. We must pursue this process with the same sense of urgency that contributed to the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004). The Committee has been given a two-year mandate by the Security Council. The Committee should consider at least 40 national reports within each remaining trimestrial programme of work, thus completing the processing of first national reports by the end of 2005. In one year's time, the Committee will need to provide the Security Council with sufficient information about States' implementation efforts to enable the Council to assess the progress that States have made in implementing the resolution.”

“With regard to the examination of national reports, since my previous report to the Council in December last year, the Committee has concentrated its work mainly on fine-tuning its methodology and tool kit for considering national reports submitted by States pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). Committee experts have developed a matrix to be used as an internal tool in the process of examining national reports. It is a living document built upon the provisions of resolution 1540 (2004). I am very pleased to report to the Council today that the 1540 Committee has already entered the substantive stage of its work and has begun examining national reports, with a view to monitoring States' efforts to implement resolution 1540 (2004).”

“Ambassador Lauro Baja of the Philippines does a wonderful job in steering the working group established pursuant to resolution 1566 (2004) towards its expected goals.
