out of the draft <strong>Manual</strong> by IMF and the UN Statistics Division in November 1999 to central banks and statistical agencies worldwide. The Task Force wishes to express its appreciation to the members of the expert group that was convened in July 2000 to conduct the final external technical review of the draft <strong>Manual</strong>. The members of this group of statisticians, trade negotiators, business representatives and data users commended the Task Force for its work and made a number of recommendations to be addressed before submission of the <strong>Manual</strong> to the Statistical Commission for approval. The group was chaired by Peter Pariag (Trinidad and Tobago) and its other members were: Mr. Henderson, Ms. Nijhowne and David Usher (Canada); Quancheng Song (China); Wai-Yi Wang (Hong Kong, China); François Renard (France); Ms. Steger (Germany); Akhilesh C. Kulshreshtha (India); Jung-Hoi Koo (Republic of Korea); Alfonso Sales Duarte (Mexico); Adisa Timothy Odunlami (Nigeria); Lidia Troshina (Russian Federation); Stefaans Walters (South Africa); Stuart Brown and Duncan McKenzie (United Kingdom); Bernard Ascher, Peter D. Ehrenhaft, Harry Freeman and Mr. Whichard (United States of America); José Carlos Mattos and Francisco Javier Prieto (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean); and Sherry M. Stephenson (Organization of American States). As a result of the extensive review process, in 2000 and early 2001 the Task Force prepared a further draft of the <strong>Manual</strong>, under the coordination of Mr. Cave, who drew together substantive material drafted by Ms. Fitzgibbon, Mr. Karsenty and Mr. Whichard, as well as important contributions and guidance from Ralf Becker (UN Statistics Division), Ms. Butkeviciene, Ms. Chamie, Mr. Patterson, Mr. Roman and Ms. Steger. OECD contributed secretarial and administrative support, particularly by Joscelyn Magdeleine. Editorial support was financed by IMF. The present draft was submitted to the Statistical Commission at its thirty-second session, in March 2001. The Statistical Commission approved the <strong>Manual</strong> as an international manual and commended the Task Force for its work. viii
