“In the negotiations under way on a new resolution, which I have just mentioned, France is closely following three key issues: the effectiveness of existing sanctions; respect for the right of defence and procedural guarantees, which, we believe, are an important part of the sanction regime's effectiveness; and support for good practices in the financial area, in particular those of the FATF. Finally, with respect to the 1540 Committee, we are very satisfied with the work done and the quick analysis of national reports. However, 74 countries have not yet submitted their reports. France therefore associates itself with other Council members that have expressed their concern at that delay. Finally, I welcome the recruitment of the new experts to help the Committee in its task.”

“We encourage regional organizations and States with the appropriate resources to contribute to that effort. With respect to the Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions Committee, the sanctions regime has been greatly enhanced since the adoption of resolution 1267 (1999) in order to adapt it to the evolution of the menace. That work needs to be continued, and negotiations on a new resolution have begun. We hope that the text will be adopted before the end of the month. That would permit the further enhancement and strengthening of existing sanctions - travel bans, the freezing of assets and arms embargoes - and of lists of targeted individuals and entities. We thank the Committee's Monitoring Team, which has made a critical contribution to the action and the thinking of the Committee.”

“The CTC has many avenues for action, of which I shall cite two. The first concerns good practices in the area of financing and monitoring terrorist financing. We believe that it is essential to endorse as soon as possible the special recommendations and the interpretive notes of the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) for the fight against terrorism, as well as the Forty Recommendations on money-laundering. We hope that all members of the Committee be able to endorse those recommendations. The second avenue of action that we wish to mention today has already been brought up by Ambassador Loj in her statement, and that is technical assistance to States that require it in order to complete their reports and effectively fight terrorism.”

“First, cooperation among the three committees on issues of common interest within their respective mandates continues to be the priority. Such cooperation already exists; it needs to continue. Whenever possible, they need to ensure that they exchange information, avoid overlap and seek synergies. The draft presidential statement that you, Sir, will read out at the end of this discussion, is geared to that effort. Secondly, I would like to make some comments with respect to each of the three committees. We understand that the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) will finally be operational in September. That will be an important step, because the CTED has an essential role to play in the Committee's work. In that context, we commend Ambassador Loj on her central role in the action of the CTC and the CTED.”

“Mr. Poirier (France) (spoke in French): The Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom has spoken on behalf of the European Union Presidency. France fully associates itself with that statement. Nevertheless, I would like to add a few brief comments. Like those of previous speakers, our thoughts naturally turn to the Victims of the attacks in London on 7 July and in Kusadasi, Turkey, on 16 July, as well as the attacks that are hitting the Middle East, particularly in Baghdad, each week. The activities of the three committees, as described today by their Chairs, reflect our chosen approach to counter-terrorism action within the United Nations framework. France is extremely committed to that multilateral approach. We are also aware that progress is necessary to enhance the effectiveness of this collective effort.”

“We will continue to closely follow future progress on remaining border issues. We will continue to attach the greatest importance to the work of the Commission of Experts on serious crimes committed in 1999.”

“Thirdly, while the Timorese people have the primary responsibility for ensuring long-term stability, the United Nations, as Mr. Annabi has said, will continue to play an essential supporting role through the United Nations Office in Timor-Leste (UNOTIL). We have every confidence in the continued action of the Secretariat during the peace consolidation phase. I note that this sets a good example prior to the debate that we will have here on this subject in a few days' time. Finally, I would like to underscore with satisfaction the continuing improvement of relations between Timor-Leste and its neighbours, first and foremost Indonesia. The visit of the President of Indonesia and the agreement that has been signed relating to 96 per cent of the land border is testimony to that.”

“Mr. Poirier (France) (spoke in French): We fully associate ourselves with the statement to be made later by the Permanent Representative of Luxembourg on behalf of the European Union. I will restrict myself to just a few brief comments. First, we congratulate the people and the authorities of Timor-Leste on the progress made in that country in the three years since independence. State institutions have been strengthened, and democracy is growing. Secondly, as the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) is preparing for the handover of its mission, we would like to join our colleagues in congratulating the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Mr. Hasegawa, and his staff for their decisive contribution to its success.”

“France is and will remain especially attentive to the efforts to be carried out in the next six months by the Government of Timor-Leste and by the United Nations Mission on the ground, so as ensure that impunity does not prevail, as described by the Secretary-General in paragraph 69 of his report. Finally, we support the draft resolution submitted by the delegation of Brazil. We submitted some amendments to it this morning, which, I take it, are currently in the process of being discussed among our experts.”

“Mr. Poirier (France)(spoke in French): France would like to express its satisfaction with the information given us by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General. In spite of the difficulties pointed out, developments in the situation in Timor- Leste have been positive ones. We would like to transmit our congratulations to the Timor-Leste authorities and to the United Nations Mission of Support in East Timor (UNMISET) for the progress achieved, both in the construction of an effective State and in the process of the integration of the overall South-East Asia region. We are in favour of extending UNMISET's mandate for another six-month period, as proposed by the Secretary-General in his report, so that the Mission might be able to fulfil its mission in support of the Dili authorities.”
