MR DUKADA
Thank you, Mr Chairperson.  We are ready to proceed in the application.  Mr Chairperson, this is a preliminary, the applicant in his official application form made a statement and subsequent to that there were certain requests for further details to the statement and he also prepared individual affidavits to some of the issues raised by the member of the Committee who put questions in writing to the witness.  The affidavit which I handed to the Committee and the various legal representatives, is no more than a consolidation of various responses emanating from the affidavits.
	May the witness first be sworn, Chairperson.
