The 1999 budget concludes a remarkable process of qualitative and quantitative consolidation.
Budgetary consolidation cannot be an end in itself.
My next point relates to the budgetary consolidation.
I would like to thank the rapporteur for his determination to lend more transparency and consistency to the expansion and consolidation of human rights.
The peaceful demonstrations, however, have given evidence of the consolidation of pluralistic forces in the country; this is a positive development.
I shall therefore continue to keep an eye on this question, in the hope of achieving budgetary and legislative consolidation of this mechanism.
