ELECCIÓN DE SU PRESIDENTE

La PRESIDENTA: As the delegations know, it is customary for the Preparatory Committee of the regular sessions of the General Assembly to install two subcommittees to perform two of the

functions assigned to it by the OAS Charter:

š Prepare the draft agenda of each session of the General Assembly; and

š Review the proposed program-budget and the draft resolution on quotas and present to the General Assembly a report ther eon containing the recommendations it considers appropriate.

I propose that we proceed in the same way fo r the forty-first regular session of the General Assembly and suggest that we now install th e Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure. Do delegations agree with the Chair’s proposal? There being no objections, we will proceed.

With the consent of the Committee member s, then, the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure is hereby installed and charged with draw ing up the draft agenda for the forty-first regular session of the General Assembly and the reviewing of the appropriate procedures. In due course, this Committee will decide on adoption of the proposed agenda.

However, I should like to remind you that Article 31 of the Rules of Procedure of the General Assembly establishes the following:

Taking into account the observations and pr oposals referred to in Article 29, the Preparatory Committee shall prepare the draft agenda, which shall be transmitted to the governments at least 45 days before the opening date of each regular session of the General Assembly.

To comply with the requirements set forth in the aforementioned article, this Committee must take a decision regarding the draft agenda for the forty-first regular session of the General Assembly in time for that draft to be remitted to the member states by no later than April 21, 2011; that is, 45 days prior to the General Assembly.

As the permanent representatives will recall, through resolution AG/RES. 1 (XLE/10), adopted during its fortieth special sessi on on September 30, 2010, the General Assembly agreed to convene a special session of the General A ssembly, to be held by no later than October 31, 2011, in order to consider and adopt the 2012 progr am-budget. Therefore, consideration of the 2012 program-budget will not be included in the agenda of the upcoming regular session.

Nevertheless, the aforementioned resolution AG/RES. 1 (XL-E/10) instructed the Subcommittee on Administrative and Budgetary Matte rs to consider a proposal to the forty-first regular session of the General Assembly to estab lish the overall budget level and the sources of financing for the 2012 program-budget.

In previous years, this responsibility has been assigned to the Chair of the Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Affairs (CAAP) of the Permanent Council in order to ensure continuity in the treatment of budgetary and administrative matters. I suggest, therefore, that we agree to elect Ambassador Virgilio Alcántara, Permanent Representative of the Dominican Repub lic and Chair of the CAAP, as Chair of the Subcommittee on Administrative a nd Budgetary Matters of the Preparatory Committee of the fortyfirst regular session of the General Assembly.
