At the invitation of the President, Mr. Tsiskarashvili (Georgia) took a seat at the Council table; Mr. Matussek (Germany) took the seat reserved for him at the side of the Council Chamber.
The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. The Council is meeting in accordance with the understanding reached in its prior consultations.
Members of the Council have before them document S/2006/771, which contains the report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abkhazia, Georgia.
Members of the Council also have before them document S/2006/804, which contains the text of a draft resolution submitted by France, Germany, the Russian Federation, Slovakia and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
It is my understanding that the Council is ready to proceed to the vote on the draft resolution before it. Unless I hear any objection, I shall put the draft resolution to the vote now.
There being no objection, it is so decided.
A vote was taken by show of hands.
There were 15 votes in favour. The draft resolution has been adopted unanimously as resolution 1716 (2006).
