29 June 2007: DAILY
PRESS BRIEFING BY THE OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE
SECRETARY-GENERAL
(...)
Question: Michèle, I wanted to get some clarification: the
Security Council resolution 1754 (2007) mentions both the Moroccan plan
and the Frente Polisario plan for the Western Sahara. Yet, in the
Secretary-General’s report out yesterday -- or today, officially -- in
paragraph 12, there’s a statement that he wrote here that “the
Polisario could be asked to test Morocco’s readiness to take part in
serious, constructive negotiations by making concrete proposals to
define, clarify or amend provisions in the Moroccan proposal, leaving
the final status out of consideration at this stage”. There’s no
mention of the Polisario proposal. So, I was wondering: I know that
[Peter] van Walsum doesn’t like to come in here, but is there any way
that we can get some sort of clarification specifically on this
paragraph? Because I just wanted to see... Now it seems that things
have changed, based on this new report. So, if there could be any, sort
of, somebody coming in, or an expert to talk about this, I’d appreciate
it.
Spokesperson: The only thing I can tell you at this point is that there
is probably going to be a different -- second -- version of this report
that will come out within the next few days.
Question: Really? And what’s it going to be based on? Is it a revision,
or…?
Spokesperson: Probably, yes. I cannot say anything at this point, but
you will, next week, probably get a revision of this.
29 June 2007: HIGHLIGHTS
OF THE NOON BRIEFING :
REPORT ON WESTERN SAHARA TALKS TO BE REISSUED SHORTLY
* Asked about the Secretary-General’s latest report on Western Sahara,
the Spokeswoman said that there would probably be a revised version of
that report coming out in the next few days. Asked why the report was
being revised, Montas said that was in response to reservations
expressed by all the parties.
* [In addition to the information provided at today’s noon briefing
regarding the Secretary-General’s report on Western Sahara,
correspondents are advised that the report will be reissued shortly
without the final section of Observations. It was felt by all concerned
that at this stage in the talks it would be in the best interests of
the process for the Secretary-General’s envoy to share observations and
recommendations to the Security Council in his coming oral briefing to
the Council and to the parties directly within the negotiations
themselves, rather than in a public report.

Le rapport sur les négociations sur Sahara Occidental sera
republié incessament
* Interrogée à propos du dernier rapport du
Secrétaire général sur le Sahara Occidental, la
porte-parole a déclaré qu'une version corrigée de
ce rapport sortira ces prochains jours. Interrogée pourquoi le
rapport a été corrigé, Montas a dit que
c'était suite à des réserves exprimées par
toutes les parties.
*[En complément des informations données au point de
presse de midi concernant le rapport du SG sur le SO, les
correspondants sont informés que le rapport va être
republié incessament sans la partie finale des observations. Il
a été jugé par toutes les parties concernés
que en l'état actuel des pourparlers, il serait d'un meilleur
intérêt pour le processus que l'envoyé du SG
partage ses observations et recommandations avec le Conseil de
sécurité lors d'une audition orale et avec les parties
lors des négociations elles-mêmes, plutôt que dans
un rapport écrit.]

noon briefing by Marie Okabe, Deputy Spokesperson for the
Secretary-General.
**Questions and Answers
(...)
Question: I wanted to ask you about the report on Western Sahara
that was re-issued last night. There is an asterisk on it and it
said it was re-issued for “technical reasons”. According to my
research, if it is re-issued for technical reasons, it is usually
because of a typo or printing error. It has no reference to any
editorial issue. That would be a revision or a corrigendum.
So I am really confused and I want to know why it was re-issued for
technical reasons.
Deputy Spokesperson: I think the “note to correspondents” last
Friday explained the reason for the re-issuance. I have nothing
beyond that.
Question: But actually, the “note to correspondents” did not say
anything about, I mean, this is a technical issue that I am asking you
about. Because there have been some reports re-issued in the past
on other issues, but not for technical reasons. There was nothing
in the note to correspondents that says anything about a corrigendum or
a revision.
Deputy Spokesperson: I think we all know, we explained to you on
Friday, as well as yesterday in response to questions, that the reason
for Mr. Van Walsum to brief the Security Council on his observations
orally, and that after a lot of consideration went into the report, the
decision was taken to omit the observation portion of the report.
So that is the reason. The asterisk, I can’t explain the reasons
for that. But the reason behind it I explained to you yesterday,
and I think that was the intent of the “note to correspondents”.
Further than that, Laura, I really think that we have to pose those
questions to the Special Representative, who is obviously going to
brief the Security Council on the eleventh. And we have asked him
to brief you afterwards.
Question: Can you just repeat what you said about Mr. Van
Walsum? Did he brief the Council, or…
Deputy Spokesperson: He is scheduled, according to the Security
Council programme for the month of July, on the eleventh in
consultations, and we have asked him to speak to you following
that. And hopefully, he will do so.
