If this indeed is the operational part of the statement, what is there 
to get so excited about it. What is of special significance here, I 
still fail to understand.

On the other hand, I still think the Brazilian statement was confusing 
and unclear in its intent from the start, and has become even more 
confusing in being edited down in an effort to negotiate its passage 
through WTPF...
