		On the responsibility of international organizations, he said articles concerning the circumstances precluding wrongfulness closely followed the draft articles on state responsibility. However, his delegation shared the doubts of others concerning such conformity and it was important to consider differences among international organizations.
		She said that, as currently written, draft article 28 (international responsibility in case of provision of competence to an international organization), seemed to have considerable scope; in her view, a tighter framework would be desirable in defining the responsibility of a member state of the organization.
		On the first question from the Commission, she said the position of Belarus was that compensation for the damage should be considered as a consequence of a commitment of an internationally wrongful act, and as an establishment of responsibility.

		Another "flexibility" obviously not openly voiced by the Trade Commissioner, could be the imposition of trade defence (anti-dumping, safeguard) measures against imports from the Chinese mainland.

	International Higher Education--23/1
		The World Trade Organization (WTO) is considering a series of proposals to include higher education as one of its concerns, ensuring that the import and export of higher education be subject to the complex rules and legal arrangements of the WTO protocols and free of most restrictions.
		In the United States, the National Committee for International Trade in Education and a group of mainly for-profit education providers are supporting this initiative.
		The implications for higher education are immense, not only because of a new set of international regulations but because the university will be defined in an entirely new way: the overriding goal of GATS and the WTO is to guarantee market access to educational products and institutions of all kinds.
