Venezuela
Venezuela said it could not support a decision that does not guarantee the full
participation of developing countries. In this regard, Venezuela expressed its support for
the position of the G-77 and China, echoed by Cuba, objecting to the mention in the
draft decision, of holding informal informal meetings on the zero draft outcome
document in 2012 “within existing resources”, emphasizing that neither the Preparatory
Committee nor any other intergovernmental body was mandated to decide on budgetary
or financial issues, a role that was incumbent on the Fifth Committee.
