<p>Many thanks, Kathrine - and all the best to those of you presenting at the breakfast meeting tomorrow.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>UNEA will be a sad occasion, after several people on the way to the conference were killed yesterday in the plane crash near Addis. A moment of silence on their honour would be fitting. Condolences to those who lost friends and colleagues.<o:p></o:p></p>
