PREPARATORY COMMITTEE FOR SPECIAL SESSION ON WORLD SOCIAL SUMMIT BEGINS PRELIMINARY REVIEW AND APPRAISAL OF SUMMIT'S OUTCOME
19990519 CORRECTIONOn page 13 of Press Release SOC/4502 issued 18 May, the first paragraph of the speaker from Kazakhstan should read as follows:
AKMARAL ARYSTANBEKOVA (Kazakhstan) said the experience of several years of market reforms in her country demonstrated the important effects of the transitional process. That process included the transfer of ownership, institutional reforms and the creation of a new system of economic structures. At the same time, its unsystematic character was apparent, as well as a lack of synchronization of the processes of restructuring society. That was caused by the dominance of economic priorities over social ones, her country's limited resources and a trend towards the decline in the population's standard of living.
