1. “On behalf of all my colleagues involved in the implementation of the Programme, I should like to personally record our most sincere gratitude to all members of the Council and its Committee, as well as to the Chairman of the Committee, His Excellency Ambassador Gunter Pleuger of Germany, and members of his delegation for their continued understanding and support and for their cooperation with the Office of the Iraq Programme. The United Nations will terminate the Programme on 21 November 2003, as called for in resolution 1483 (2003), and will continue to facilitate a smooth handover to the Coalition Provisional Authority, in close coordination with the relevant Iraqi authorities. In that connection, I should like to inform the Council that in a letter dated 8 October 2003 addressed to Mr.”

2. “We have also kept the Coalition Provisional Authority and the relevant Iraqi authorities fully informed, and have been working very closely with them to finalize the necessary arrangements for the termination of the Programme. We have also kept Member States and suppliers informed through the Office of the Iraq Programme web site of the relevant decisions and arrangements with regard to, inter alia, the prioritization of contracts and the authentication of humanitarian supplies imported to Iraq under the Programme.”

3. “We had planned to submit a written report pursuant to paragraph 16 (f) of resolution 1483 (2003), but prevailing uncertainties on the ground demanded flexibility and compelled us to constantly review our options for the phasing down and termination of the Programme. I therefore suggested that we report progress at least once a week to the Council, through its Committee established pursuant to resolution 661 (1990), in lieu of a written report. I thank the Council for its understanding and for its agreement with our suggested course of action. As members know, we have provided the Committee with weekly updates, and we participate in its formal and informal meetings.”

4. “Mr. Sevan: In paragraph 16 (f) of its resolution 1483 (2003) the Security Council requests the Secretary-General "to provide the Security Council, 30 days prior to the termination of the Programme, with a comprehensive strategy developed in close coordination with the Authority and the Iraqi interim administration that would lead to the delivery of all relevant documentation and the transfer of all operational responsibility of the Programme to the Authority". When I briefed the Security Council at its informal consultations on 29 September 2003, I noted that most of our exit strategies had been overtaken by events over which we had no control.”
