Mr President, I would just like to explain why we are asking for this item to be removed from the agenda – moreover, we would then be in favour of the item on Illinois being included – and we would like to ask whether a statement on North Korea might be included on the agenda of the Brussels part-session at an appropriate time, given the country’s announcement that it intends to withdraw from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. We feel it would be more appropriate for this item to be addressed in a more formal, more in-depth manner than will be possible in a last-minute topical and urgent debate.
