DAILY PRESS BRIEFING BY THE OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON FOR THE SECRETARY-GENERAL29 June 2007
(...)
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.

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.
trad. non officielle (extrait des déclarations de la porte-parole du SG du 29.06.07):Le rapport sur les négociations sur Sahara Occidental sera republié incessamment
* 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.]
