Genstanden for disse forhandlinger var naturligvis, hvorvidt flyene kunne opfylde de tekniske kriterier, der opstilles i direktivets artikel 3, og betegnelsen af lande som udviklingslande er helt i overensstemmelse med de kriterier, der fastsættes af den relevante, internationale organisation, OECD's komité for udviklingsbistand.
The subject matter of these negotiations was of course the technical eligibility of the aircraft on the basis of the criteria laid down in article 3 of the directive, and the designation of countries as developing nations is completely in accordance with criteria laid down by the relevant international organization, the OECD Development Assistance Committee.
