During the 90s and i faced that in 2002, 2003, and we know the importance of the independence of verification. You had it in bilateral agreements, verification with russia and thats long tradition. Thats one thing. But multilateral inspections are needed in cases like iran and like iraq. And in that for that you need impartial independent Civil Servants that are not subject to any corruption, that will not go to do the work with any of the intelligence agencies that are crawling all over the place. So i would like to ask you your view about the importance of independent verification as a third of the many issues you have on your agenda. Thank you very much. [ applause ] thank you very much, dr. Blix. Listening to you, i now realize why you received the award. And thank you for not retire, multiple times. Your honor please. [ applause ] you define what a Public Servant is. So thank you for your service. And thank you for your continuing to push the government and think about the issues
