UNCTAD has been contributing in its areas of competence to the work of the Panel through the provision of studies on African development , and we are pleased to see that many of the findings of the panel corroborate our analysis . Results of the work of Djurdjanovic and his students in this area are already being implemented to improve maintenance in General Motors using the on-line information about equipment condition and work-in-progress on the plant floor . While there , she worked as a research assistant in the Wind Science and Engineering Research Center as part of a team that developed computer software to determine vulnerabilities of buildings components due to high winds . In this regard , the work of this Commission , like the work of UNCTAD in general and the WTO trade negotiations themselves , needs to be considered as but one facet of a broad international scenario that also encompasses other elements equally important from the development standpoint . In Europe , the Stability and Growth Pact has led to the pursuit of budget deficit targets with insufficient regard to countries = cyclical positions , and monetary policy has remained focused primarily on inflation . Before I hand the floor back to you , let me draw your attention to the recommendations made at the " Expert Meeting on Mainstreaming Gender in Order to Promote Opportunities " held in Geneva in November 2001 , as these recommendations have implications also for the work of this Commission . He made key research contributions in the pursuit of methods and technical solutions for multisensor assessment and prediction of equipment performance . A new kind of strategic vision is required when preparing for parallel negotiations - a vision that goes far beyond the narrow technicalities of the erosion of preferences or the formulation of rules of origin . In this context , I am happy to note that the Commission will hear a report on the work of the Commission on Science and Technology for Development ( CSTD ) . In the area of TRIPS , there will be further negotiations on ensuring the inclusion in the Agreement of issues that reflect interests of some developing countries , such as the protection of traditional knowledge and biodiversity .
