Ms. Schmidt (Germany) expressed support for Italy's position.

Mr. Kai Uwe SCHMIDT, Programme Officer, Financial Mechanism, Framework Convention on Climate Change, Bonn, Germany

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said she agreed with the representative of France that there should be an obligation for parties to disclose their place of business.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said her concern was that a considerable amount of time might elapse before the person learned of the error .

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said that the appropriate place of business in that circumstance would, in her view, be the place of business with the closest relationship to the relevant contract.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) proposed that the commentary should also make it clear, as suggested by the representative of the United States, that parties could not derogate from the mandatory provisions of domestic law.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said that the rebuttal of such a presumption would be based on a demonstration of the actual location of a party's place of business in accordance with the definition in draft article 4.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said that her delegation had raised the issue of whether it was possible to provide evidence not only of the method used but also of identity and intention.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) supported the proposal by the observer for the Hague Conference on Private International Law that it should be made clear in the commentary that the draft convention applied only to trade related matters.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) proposed allaying the concerns of the Hague Conference on Private International Law by including a statement in the commentary to the effect that the draft convention dealt essentially with trade related matters.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany), endorsing the comments made by the representative of Australia, said that her delegation also wished to retain paragraph 3 (b), which would not, in her view, generate legal uncertainty.

The Chairman noted that the United States delegation wished to withdraw draft paragraph 6, despite having introduced it in the Working Group. However, at least one written comment had argued for the retention of the paragraph, which was in square brackets because the Working Group had not had time to examine it in depth at its forty fourth session.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said that although an exclusion covering the subject matter of draft paragraph 6 could be made under draft article 18, paragraph 2, it would be preferable to include an exclusionary provision under draft article 9 because it was unclear which instruments for claiming payment were excluded under draft article 2.

383, 34 N.W.2d 400 (1948), rehearing denied, 150 Neb. 647, 35 N.W.2d 500 (1948) (holding that a treaty provision providing for reciprocal access to the courts of justice to nationals of the United States and Germany was suspended but not abrogated by the Second World War).

Ms. Schmidt (Germany), drawing attention to Germany's written comment (A CN.9 578 Add.8), said that her delegation believed that the scope of party autonomy should be restricted to draft articles 10 to 14 and that it should be made clear that the remaining articles of the draft convention did not fall within the scope of draft article 3.

In information based societies, networks are replacing hierarchies, and knowledge workers are less deferential. Management in a wide range of organizations is changing in the direction of shared leadership, and distributed leadership, with leaders in the center of a circle rather than atop a pyramid.

Ms. Schmidt (Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States), speaking on behalf of the High Representative, said that the private sector could contribute to development by sharing capacities, knowledge and technology, which were especially lacking in least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing States.

Ms. Schmidt (Germany) said that she supported the more concise wording proposed by the United States which, in her view, rendered the phrase made during the formation or performance of the type of contract in question superfluous.

Merkel is not the first German politician to adopt a hardline stance on monetary policy and debt nor is she the first to face a torrent of international criticism. In the late 1970 s, when the world was facing a mixture of stagnant growth and inflation, Chancellor Helmut Schmidt insistently told British, French, and American leaders that their deficits were wrong and dangerous.
