The President (spoke in French) I now call on Mr. Jessen Petersen.

Peterson is a city in Fillmore County, Minnesota, United States.

On one side stands Arvind Subramanian, from the Peterson Institute and the Center for Global Development.

Ms. Paterson (United Kingdom) I have the honour to take the floor on behalf of the European Union (EU).

Democratic Representative Collin Peterson of Minnesota and Democratic Senator Zell Miller of Georgia cosponsored and introduced the bill in the 108th Congress, but Peterson is no longer cosponsoring the bill and Miller has left the Senate.

Mr. Jessen Petersen has a firm grip on the job in Kosovo, as has already been demonstrated by the good results achieved.

(Full disclosure Subramanian and I are colleagues at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, and we have worked together on other issues.)

Mr. Jessen Petersen Let me first thank the members of the Security Council for their many very useful and important observations and statements.

The Bank of England, founded in 1694 by Scottish banker William Paterson, is the United Kingdom's central bank.

Mr. Motoc (Romania) We too are grateful for the briefing by Mr. Jessen Petersen, Special Representative of the Secretary General.

I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate Romania's full support for Mr. Jessen Petersen as he tackles this year's many challenges.

Mr. Jessen Petersen warns that the state of things in Kosovo is still fragile and that a period of increased risk of incidents lies ahead.

In that regard, I am pleased to welcome the comments made today by Mr. Jessen Petersen and Mr. Cović with regard to prospects for the resumption of direct dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.

That decision was intended to allow the Petersen Group to service the debts to banks, and to Repsol itself, that it incurred with its share purchase, for which it made no initial payment.

Repsol acquired complete control of YPF in 1999 in February 2008, it transferred part of its shares to the Petersen Group, which today holds 25 .

Stephan Haggard from the Peterson Institute for International Economics blog wrote that there was no hidden message in Kim s speech and that the proposed changes to the country s economic management merely seek to maintain the existing socialist system.

There is certainly much discussion of the renminbi s rising international role an issue on which Arvind Subramanian, my colleague at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, continues to do the most interesting work.

For example, Jagdish Bhagwati, the distinguished free trader, and Fred Bergsten, the director of the pro globalization Peterson Institute for International Economics, have both been on the frontlines arguing that critics vastly exaggerate globalization s ills and under appreciate its benefits.

Economist Jeffrey J. Scott of the Peterson Institute for International Economics notes that members of successful trade blocs usually share four common traits similar levels of per capita GNP, geographic proximity, similar or compatible trading regimes, and political commitment to regional organization.

Ms. Paterson (United Kingdom) I have the honour to speak on behalf of the European Union (EU) and all those countries that have aligned themselves with it on draft resolution A C.1 60 L.33 Rev.1, entitled Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on Their Destruction .

Like most products of international negotiations, the agreement is not perfect but it does move the ball forward. (For the technical details, I recommend a recent paper by Edwin M. Truman, my colleague at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.)

What is frustrating is that we are tantalizingly close to a deal which, according to the Washington based Peterson Institute for International Economics, would deliver global economic benefits of 300 700 billion annually.
