Q: There have been reports in the press of a UN plan to broker peace between Israel and Syria. Could you give us some more information

SG: There is no such plan at the moment. I know you've read it and I`ve read it too. Let me say that there has been some discussions, working papers have been floating around as what one can do on the Syrian track when the time comes. I think that this is one of these documents that got into the press, but we have not tabled a formal plan.

Q: — Of the working document, you mentioned?

SG: I beg your pardon?

Q: Could you give us more details of the working document that you mentioned?

SG: These working documents are internal documents which are not ready for publication.
