9. The Bureau deferred the following requests either because the properties to which they related were not included or recommended for the World Heritage List or further clarifications were required:

Algeria:

• Dey's Palace
• Qal'ah of Beni Hammad
• Citadel Quarter of Setif

Ethiopia:

• Bale Mountain National Park
• Abijatta Shalla Lakes National Park

Further elements of the technical co-opertaion requests for these sites have to be established first by a preparatory assistance mission which has been granted for Simien National Park and will be now extended to the other two sites.

Syrian Arab Republic:

• Ancient City of Damascus
• Ancient City of Aleppo
• Ancient Town of Bosra
• Site of Palmyra

The Bureau was of the opinion that equipement that could be obtained locally, such as lorries etc, should not be provided under the Fund.
