32. 非法制造和贩运爆炸物问题专家组于 2001年 3 月 12 日至 16 日和 2001 年 12 月 18 日至 20日举行了会议。由于现有资金不足以提供专家差旅费或其他费用，只能够提供第二次即最后一次会议的同声传译费用，因此一些专家未能亲自出席会议。酌情向专家们提供了用英文、法文和西班牙文编写的关于第一次会议非正式报告的案文和调查表以及用有关语文编写的其他文件。正如第一次会议所决定的，一些专家对某些特定问题进行了研究，全体专家对调查表答复进行了审查。由此而产生的资料则由专家组在其第二次即最后一次会议上加以审议。
32. The Group of Experts on the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in explosives held meetings in Vienna from 12 to 16 March 2001 and from 18 to 21 December 2001. The resources available did not permit the assistance of individual experts with travel or other expenses, and it was only possible to provide simultaneous interpretation at the second and final meeting. As a result, some experts were not able to attend in person. Texts of the informal report on the first meeting and of the survey questionnaire were made available to the experts in English, French and Spanish, as appropriate, and other documents were provided to the experts in the languages in which they were received. As decided at the first meeting, individual experts conducted research into specific issues, and all the experts reviewed the replies to the survey questionnaire. The information thus generated was then considered by the Group at its second and final meeting.
