The situation in Cyprus
Report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations operation in Cyprus (S/2007/699)
The President
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Security 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/2007/699. Members of the Council also have before them document S/2007/732, which contains the text of a draft resolution prepared in the course of the Council's prior consultations.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it.
I should like to inform the Council that the presidency of the Council has met with the representatives of the parties, who have confirmed that they maintain their well-known positions vis-à-vis the item on the Council's agenda. On the basis of those meetings, with the consent of the members of the Council, the presidency has drawn the conclusion that the Council can proceed to take a decision on the draft resolution before it. If I hear no objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
