Adoption of the agenda
The situation in Cyprus
Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations operation in Cyprus (S/2000/496 and Corr.1)
The President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations operation in Cyprus, document S/2000/496 and corrigendum 1.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/2000/549, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations.
I have also received letters from the Permanent Representatives of Greece and of the Republic of Cyprus, from the Deputy Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and from the Permanent Representative of Turkey. This last contains an annex setting out the position of the Turkish Cypriot side.
Members of the Council have been informed of the content of these letters.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution (S/2000/549) before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.

The President
There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1303 (2000).
I believe I can say that all members of the Council very sincerely wish for the success of the forthcoming proximity talks, which will be held in Geneva beginning on 5 July.
The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
