Japan’s Ambassador Suda announced at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament (CD) that his delegation, along with those of Canada and the Netherlands, jointly submitted to the CD the draft FM(C)T prepared by the International Panel on Fissile Materials, entitled A Treaty Banning the Production of Fissile Materials for Nuclear Weapons or Other Nuclear Explosive Devices, with article-by-article explanations. He explained that the document is intended to provide CD members with “useful reference materials in the prospective negotiations of a fissile materials cut-off treaty.”

Thank you, Mr. President.
I asked for the floor briefly to draw the members’ attention to the Document prepared by the International Panel on Fissile Materials; entitled "A Treaty Banning the Production of Fissile Materials for Nuclear Weapons or Other Nuclear Explosive Devices, with article-by-article explanations", dated 2nd September 2009 - which the Delegations of Canada, Japan and the Netherlands jointly submitted yesterday to the CD secretariat for its circulation as an official document of the CD.
The purpose of circulating this document is to provide the Member States of the Conference with useful reference materials in the prospective negotiations of a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty. I would like to highlight that the document submitted does not in any way represent the official positions of the States submitting it. Although having been told that this submission cannot be reflected in the draft report in front of us due to the time constraint, I hope that it will be reflected in the list of documents submitted to the Conference and recorded under Paragraph 37 of the Final Report of the Conference.
Thank you, Mr. President.
