Factors that impede the optimal effectiveness of such resources include the failure of programmes to target those who need them the most, the failure to implement interventions with proven scientific effectiveness and bureaucratic obstacles to the rapid disbursement and use of available funds.

Additional technical parameters applied in the course of ongoing monitoring and verification, that could be practicably verified with a minimal degree of ambiguity, have proven to be effective tools that prevented Iraq from developing proscribed missiles in the presence of international inspectors.

Satisfied that the current working methods of the Commission have proved their efficiency,

Even if you learn how he moved energy, what's the use?

Why should they change systems that proved so resilient?

While studies that extend biological technologies to the marine environment are few, they hold great promise.63
