text: Council that document E/1990/31 would be issued only on 2 May, while document E/1990/39, containing the report of the Advisory Committee on Co-ordination on the development of a United Nations system-wide action plan on drug abuse control, would be issued only on 18 May. Since the latter would have to be reviewed by the I .. • I E/1990/SR.S English Page 5 (Mr. Stoby) Committee for Programme and Co-ordination (CPC), and since the Council would be considering it together with the relevant chapter of the CPC report on its thirtieth session, the Council might wish to postpone consideration of document E/1990/39 until its s~cond regular session of 1990, under the item entitled "Co-ordination questic>ns". It was so decided. The PRESIDENT invited the Council to consider the report of the Committee on Non-Governmental Otganizations (E/1990/63) on requests from non-governmental organizations for hea~ings. He would take it, if he heard no objection, that the Council approved th,e Committee's recommendation in paragraph 2 of its report. It was so decide4. Mr. AHMED (Under-Secretary-General for International Economic and Social Affairs) observed that the interrelationship of the\social situation and economic development and questions relating to the advancement of women had been given intensive consideration during the preparation of the international development strategy for the coming decade and during the current special session of the General Assembly devoted to international economic co-operation. The special session was about to conclude with the adoption by consensus of a Declaration that provided a historic occasion to usher in a new era of economic growth and development in the developing countries, and the Council must now decide how best to implement its goals. The Council's debate of such matters was therefore timely. The Department of I~ternational Economic and Social Affairs had submitted a 
analysis: The text appears to be discussing international economic development, social issues, and the role of the United Nations in addressing these matters. The mention of the "international development strategy for the coming decade" and the "Declaration on international economic cooperation" suggests that economic development is a key theme. Additionally, the involvement of the Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations and the Advisory Committee on Co-ordination on drug abuse control implies that the text is related to international cooperation and policy-making.
