Dann werft doch bitte 'mal einen Blick in die Stil-Blüten dieses Gagsophen-Convent's:
"Good evening everyone. Thank you for being here at short notice. I convened this meeting as a Heads of Delegation — but given developments I think it"s appropriate that I convert it into an informal TNC meeting before delivering this statement.
So right now we are in an informal TNC.
These are the last few working hours before the deadline to adopt the protocol on the Trade Facilitation Agreement, so I wanted to take this opportunity to brief you on everything that has happened since the General Council adjourned on Friday evening.
Ambassador Fried, as Chairman of General Council, is here at my side. We have discussed the situation and confirmed that what he announced on Friday still stands. So unless something happens before midnight tonight, item 2 on the agenda will be closed without any action other than to take note, as usual, of the statements made. And the meeting of the General Council will therefore be formally closed without the adoption of the protocol.
Of course it is true that everything remains in play until midnight — but at present there is no workable solution on the table, and I have no indication that one will be forthcoming.
We will not be opening the floor for statements. This will just be a report from me to you, for the sake of transparency, so that I can brief you all on the situation.
If anyone has an idea which has not already been proposed or tested then please inform the General Council chair that this may still be doable. But, as I say, I have no indication that this is the case. So let me update you on the events of the last few days.
Since Friday I have been reaching out to different delegations, and I have been in contact with some capitals. I convened a meeting of the group coordinators on Tuesday — and again earlier today — to inform them of my activities, and I asked them to report back to all of you.
In these discussions ideas have been tested which could move us forward. I have been exploring whether there are any possible ways that we might find convergence.
However, I am very sorry to report that despite these efforts I do not have the necessary elements that would lead to me to conclude that a breakthrough is possible. We got closer — significantly closer — but not quite there.
At this late hour, with the deadline just a matter of moments away, I don"t have anything in my hands that makes me believe that we can successfully reach consensus on item 2 of the agenda of the General Council. My understanding is that the remaining gaps are unbridgeable with the time that we have.
On the one side we have the firm conviction, shared by many, that the decisions that ministers reached in Bali cannot be changed or amended in any way — and that those decisions have to be fully respected.
And on the other side of the debate we have some who believe that those decisions leave unresolved concerns that need to be addressed in ways that, in the view of others, change the balance of what was agreed in Bali.
These are the two sides. We have not been able to find a solution that would allow us to bridge that gap. We tried everything we could. But it has not proved possible.
The fact we do not have a conclusion means that we are entering a new phase in our work — a phase which strikes me as being full of uncertainties"...
