It is an organization designed to promote cooperation in cotton affairs, particularly those of international scope and significance. It affords its members an understanding of the world cotton situation and provides a forum for international consultation and discussion. The Committee has consultative status with the U.N. and its specialized agencies and cooperates closely with other international organizations in matters of common interest. The functions of the International Cotton Advisory Committee are defined in the Rules and Regulations, which are available on the Web and by request. These are: • To observe and keep in close touch with developments affecting the world cotton situation. • To collect and disseminate complete, authentic, and timely statistics on world cotton production, trade, consumption, stocks and prices. • To suggest, as and when advisable, to the governments represented, any measures the Advisory Committee considers suitable and practicable for the furtherance of international collaboration with due regard to maintaining and developing a sound world cotton economy. • To be the forum for international discussions on matters related to cotton prices. The Committee is the outgrowth of an International Cotton Meeting held in Washington, in September 1939. At that time, world stocks of cotton had reached nearly 5.5 million tons, of which over half were located in the United States. The following ten producing countries convened in Washington, D.C., in September 1939: Brazil, British cotton exporting colonies, Egypt, French cotton exporting colonies, India, Mexico, Peru, Sudan, the USSR, and the United States, to discuss problems of over-production, rising stocks and falling prices. The principal objective was to take concerted international action to avoid chaotic developments in the world cotton economy. The following resolution was passed: “1. That an advisory committee be set up in Washington representing the countries participating in the present conference, and including in addition representatives of other important cotton growing and exporting nations; such committee to undertake the following function: “(a) To observe and keep in close touch with developments in the world cotton situation. “(b) To suggest, as and when advisable, to the Governments represented any measures the committee considers suitable and practicable for the achievement of ultimate collaboration.” The ICAC met for the first time in Washington, D.C. in April 1940. At first, membership was limited to cotton producing countries. After the fourth meeting, an invitation to join the Committee was extended to “all other United and Associated Nations substantially interested in the production, export or import of cotton.” At the fifth Meeting in May 1946, it was decided to establish a Secretariat and a governing Executive Committee consisting of representatives from six cotton producing and six cotton consuming countries. A beginning was also made with the statistical and economic information program, which became an intrinsic part of the Committee’s work. Subsequently, in 1948, it was agreed to replace the original Executive Committee with a Standing Committee in which all countries would have a voice. MEMBERSHIP Membership in ICAC is open to all members of the United Nations or of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, expressing an interest in cotton. Any other government expressing an interest in cotton shall be eligible to apply for membership. The annual budget of the Committee—US$1,980,000 in 2011/ 12—is supported by assessments to member governments, subscriptions to publications and participant fees at meetings. Forty percent of the total assessment is shared equally among member countries. The remaining sixty percent is allocated based on the average trade in raw cotton in the four most recent cotton seasons. In 2011/12, the equal contribution is US$18,300 and the additional calculation is US$111.93 per 1,000 tons of average cotton trade (imports plus exports). PLENARY MEETINGS At the invitation of a member government, plenary meetings of the Advisory Committee are held each year. Meetings alternate as much as possible between cotton exporting and importing countries. A provisional agenda and time schedule for each plenary meeting is prepared by the Standing Committee. Provision is made for the exchange of information on the cotton situation in various countries and for discussions on international policy matters. Since the mid-1960s, technical seminars on subjects of interest to researchers have been held as a part of each plenary meeting. The Secretariat of the Committee publishes the formal proceedings of each plenary meeting. The official languages of the ICAC are Arabic, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Full si mul ta neous interpretation is provided at plenary meetings. STANDING COMMITTEE A Standing Committee, consisting of representatives of all member governments, gives continuity to the activities of the International Cotton Advisory Committee between plenary meetings. The Standing Committee convenes in Washington. Attention is given to the current world cotton situation, cotton policy matters, and also to assignments from the plenary meetings. THE SECRETARIAT The Secretariat of the Committee is located in Washington, DC and is composed of an international staff headed by an Executive Director whose appointment and contract of employment is determined by a plenary meeting. The following individuals have served as executive directors (executive secretary): Mr. R. Whitaker, May 1947–Mar 1949 Mr. Robert Evans, Apr 1949–Feb 1963 2 Dr. J. C. Santley, Mar 1963–Dec 1986 Dr. Lawrence. H. Shaw, Jan 1987–Dec 1998 Dr. Terry P. Townsend, Jan 1999– The Secretariat assists the Committee in carrying out its work program by developing and publishing statistics and analyses of the world cotton situation; by carrying out a program of work to disseminate information on cotton production research; by cooperating with other organizations to promote a sound world cotton economy; and by facilitating discussions on matters related to cotton prices. COORDINATING AGENCIES Each member government is required to establish a “permanent national coordinating agency” to provide the Secretariat with statistics on the cotton situation and to distribute publications and reports received from the Secretariat. Under this cooperative arrangement, there has been continued improvement in the quantity and quality of statistics on cotton available on a world basis. Coordinating agencies are frequently called upon to supply information requested by special inquiries from the Committee. Their cooperation has made possible world surveys on various subjects of importance to member governments. COMITE CONSULTATIF INTERNATIONAL DU COTON Le Comité consultatif international du coton (CCIC) est une association de gouvernements ayant un intérêt dans la production, l’exportation, l’importation et la consommation de coton. C’est une organisation créée dans le but d’encourager la coopération dans le domaine du coton, en particulier sur le plan international. Elle permet à ses membres de comprendre la situation cotonnière mondiale et de participer à des échanges de vues et des consultations internationales. Le Comité a un statut consultatif avec les Nations Unies et ses institutions et collabore étroitement avec d’autres organisations internationales sur les questions présentant un intérêt commun. Les fonctions du Comité consultatif international du coton sont définies par le Règlement statutaire, dont un exemplaire peut être obtenu sur demande et sur le site Web. Ces fonctions sont les suivantes : La résolution suivante a été adoptée : “1. Un Comité consultatif établi à Washington représente les pays participants à la conférence en cours et comprend également les représentants de pays exportateurs et cultivateurs de coton ; un tel comité devra assumer les principales fonctions suivantes : “(a) Observer et suivre de près l’évolution de la conjoncture économique dans la mesure où elle intéresse la situation mondiale du coton. “(b) Proposer, s’il en est besoin, aux gouvernements participants, toutes mesures que le Comité consultatif juge appropriées et réalisables en vue d’une collaboration étroite.” Le CCIC s’est réuni pour la première fois à Washington, D.C. en avril 1940. Au début, l’accession à la qualité de membre était limitée aux pays producteurs de coton. Après la quatrième réunion, une invitation a été envoyée “à tous les pays membres des Nations-Unies et pays associés qui portent un intérêt considérable à la production, à l’exportation ou à l’importation de coton.” • Observer et suivre de près l’évolution de la conjoncture économique dans la mesure où elle intéresse la situation mondiale du coton. • Réunir et publier des statistiques complètes, officielles et à jour sur la production, le commerce, la consommation, les stocks et les prix du coton dans le monde. • Proposer, s’il en est besoin, aux gouvernements participants, toutes mesures que le Comité consultatif juge appropriées et réalisables pour renforcer la collaboration internationale en vue de développer et maintenir une économie mondiale du coton reposant sur des bases saines. A la cinquième Réunion, en mai 1946, il a été décidé d’établir un Secrétariat et un Comité exécutif constitué de représentants de six pays producteurs et six pays consommateurs de coton. Il a également été question d’un programme d’information statistique et économique, qui devinrent une part intrinsèque du Comité. Par la suite, en 1948, il a été décidé de remplacer le Comité exécutif par une Commission permanente à laquelle tous les Etats membres puissent avoir droit à une voix. • Etre l’enceinte où doivent se dérouler les discussions internationales portant sur les prix du coton. MEMBRES Le Comité a été constitué à la suite d’une Réunion internationale sur le coton qui avait eu lieu à Washington en septembre 1939. A cette époque, les stocks mondiaux de coton atteignaient presque 5,5 millions de tonnes ; plus de la moitié de ces stocks se trouvaient aux Etats-Unis. L’adhésion au CCIC est ouverte à tout membre des Nations Unies ou de l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture ayant exprimé son intérêt pour le coton. Tout gouvernement exprimant son intérêt pour le coton pourra solliciter son adhésion. Les dix pays producteurs suivants s’étaient donc réunis à Washington, D.C. en septembre 1939 : le Brésil, les colonies anglaises exportatrices de coton, l’Egypte, les colonies françaises exportatrices de coton, l’Inde, le Mexique, le Pérou, le Soudan, l’URSS et les Etats-Unis. Les discussions portaient sur des problèmes tels que la surproduction, la hausse des stocks et la chute des prix. L’objectif principal était d’éviter, par une intervention internationale concertée, que l’économie cotonnière mondiale évolue d’une manière chaotique. Le budget annuel du Comité pour l’année fiscale 2011/12 est de 1 980 000 dollars US et provient des contributions des Etats membres, des abonnements aux publications et des droits d’inscription des participants aux réunions plénieres. Quarante pour cent de la totalité des contributions des Etats membres est réparti entre les pays membres. Le solde de 60 pour cent est proportionnellement calculé sur la base de la moyenne du volume commercial de coton brut des quatre dernières campagnes. En 2011/12, la contribution fixe de chaque Etat membre est de 18 300 dollars US, et la contribution variable 3 est basée sur un calcul de 111,93 dollars US pour 1 000 tonnes de commerce de coton en moyenne (importations plus exportations). REUNIONS PLENIERES Des Réunions plénières du Comité consultatif sont tenues chaque année, sur l’invitation d’un Etat membre. Les Réunions doivent alterner autant que possible entre pays exportateurs et importateurs. La Commission permanente établit un ordre du jour provisoire et un horaire des séances pour chaque Réunion plénière. Il est également prévu des échanges de renseignements concernant la situation du coton dans les divers pays et des discussions relatives aux questions de politique cotonnière internationale. Depuis le milieu des années 1960, des colloques techniques sont tenus en rapport avec la Réunion plénière, sur des sujets ayant un intérêt commun à la recherche en matière cotonnière. Le Secrétariat du Comité publie le procès-verbal officiel de chaque Réunion. Les langues officielles du CCIC sont l’anglais, l’arabe, l’espagnol, le français et le russe. Une interprétation simultanée est assurée au cours des Réunions plénières. LA COMMISSION PERMANENTE Pour assurer la continuité des travaux du Comité consultatif international du coton entre les Réunions plénières, une Com mis sion permanente a été constituée, composée de représentants de tous les Etats membres. Elle se réunit à Washington. Elle se préoccupe surtout de la situation actuelle du coton dans le monde, des questions de politique cotonnière et des travaux que lui a confiés la Réunion plénière. LE SECRETARIAT Le Secrétariat du Comité est situé à Washington, DC et est composé d’un personnel international à la tête duquel se trouve le Directeur exécutif dont la nomination et le contrat sont décidés par une Réunion plénière. Les personnes suivantes ont été les différents Directeurs exécutifs (Secrétaires généraux): M. Rodney Whitaker, Fév 1947-Mars 1949 M. Robert Evans, Avril 1949-Fév 1963 M. J. C. Santley, Mars 1963-Déc 1986 M. Lawrence H. Shaw, Jan 1987-Déc 1998 M. Terry P. Townsend, Jan 1999Le Secrétariat aide le Comité à remplir son programme de travail en développant et en publiant des statistiques, et en analysant la situation cotonnière mondiale ; en se chargeant d’un programme de travail pour disséminer des informations scientifiques et établir de meilleurs échanges entre spécialistes en coopérant avec d’autres organisations afin de maintenir une économie mondiale du coton reposant sur des bases saines ; et en facilitant les discussions sur tout sujet relatif aux prix du coton. ORGANISMES DE COORDINATION Des résolutions adoptées par le Comité demandent à tous les Etats membres de créer “des organismes permanents de coordination” qui fournissent chaque mois au Secrétariat une série de statistiques sur la situation cotonnière et diffusent les publications et les rapports que lui font parvenir le Secrétariat. Dans le cadre de ces dispositions de coopération, on a pu améliorer, de façon continue, la quantité et la qualité des statistiques concernant le coton à l’échelle mondiale. Les organismes de coordination sont appelés fréquemment à fournir des renseignements, à l’occasion de demandes spécifiques que leur adresse le Comité. Leur coopération a permis des enquêtes mondiales sur divers sujets qui présentent de l’importance pour les Etats membres. COMITE CONSULTIVO INTERNACIONAL DEL ALGODON El Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón (CCIA) es una asociación de gobiernos que tienen interés en la producción, exportación, importación y consumo de algodón. Es una organización designada para promover la cooperación en asuntos algodoneros, en particular aquellos de alcance y significado internacional. Facilita a sus miembros una comprensión de la situación algodonera mundial y provee un foro para consultas y deliberaciones a nivel internacional. El Comité mantiene una posición consultativa con las Naciones Unidas y sus agencias epecializadas y colabora estrechamente con otros organismos internacionales en asuntos de interés común. Las funciones del Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón se definen en el Reglamento, que está disponible en la Internet o a solicitud de los interesados. Estas incluyen: • Observar el desarrollo que afecte la situación algodonera mundial y mantenerse al corriente de la misma. • Reunir y diseminar estadísticas completas, auténticas y oportunas sobre la producción, comercio, consumo, existencias y precios mundiales del algodón. • Sugerir a los gobiernos representados, en la forma y oportunidad convenientes, cualesquiera medidas que el Comité Consultivo estime adecuadas y factibles para el progreso de la colaboración internacional con la debida atención a la manutención y desarrollo de una economía algodonera sana. • Ser el foro para deliberaciones internacionales en asuntos relacionados con los precios del algodón. El Comité se estableció como resultado de la Reunión Internacional del Algodón celebrada en Washington, DC en septiembre de 1939. En ese entonces, las existencias mundiales del algodón habían alcanzado casi 5,5 millones de toneladas, de las cuales más de la mitad se hallaban en los Estados Unidos. En septiembre de 1939 se reunieron en Washington DC, representantes de los diez países que se indican a continuación: Brasil, colonias británicas exportadoras de algodón, Egipto, colonias francesas exportadoras de algodón, India, México, Perú, Sudán, URSS y los Estados Unidos para deliberar acerca de los problemas de producción excesiva, existencias crecientes y precios en descenso. El objetivo primordial era tomar acción internacional concertada para evitar acontecimientos caóticos en la economía algodonera mundial. 4 La siguiente resolución fue adoptada: “1. Establecer en Washington un Comité Permanente representando a los países participantes en la conferencia, incluyendo además representantes de países cultivadores y exportadores de algodón. Le corresponderán al Comité las siguientes funciones: “(a) Observar los acontecimientos que afecten la situación algodonera mundial y mantenerse al corriente de la misma. “(b) Sugerir a los gobiernos miembros del CCIA, en la forma y oportunidad convenientes, cualesquiera medidas que el CCIA estime adecuadas y factibles para el progreso de la colaboración internacional”. El CCIA se reunió por primera vez en Washington DC, en abril de 1940. Al principio el ingreso estaba limitado a países productores de algodón. Después de la cuarta reunión se extendió una invitación para que ingresaran al Comité “todas las Naciones Unidas o países asociados con interés sustancial en la producción, exportación o importación de algodón”. En la Quinta Reunión Plenaria en mayo de 1946, se decidió establecer una Secretaría y un Comité Ejecutivo dirigente integrado por representantes de seis países productores y seis países consumidores. Se dio comienzo también al programa de información estadística y económica, el cual pasó a ser una parte intrínseca de la labor del Comité. Subsecuentemente, en 1948 se convino en reemplazar al Comité Ejecutivo original por un Comité Permanente en el cual todos los países estarían representados. MIEMBROS La invitación para ser miembro del CCIA se extiende a todos los miembros de la Naciones Unidas o de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y la Alimentación que expresen interés en el algodón. Cualquier otro país que exprese interés en el algodón podrá presentar una solicitud de ingreso. El presupuesto anual del Comité correspondiente al año fiscal 2011/12 es de 1.980.000 provenientes de las contribuciones financieras de los países miembros, suscripciones, y cuotas de inscripción en las reuniones. Cuarenta por ciento del total de las contribuciones resulta de una contribución básica igual para cada país miembro. El sesenta por ciento restante es una contribución prorrateada calculada sobre la base del comercio promedio del algodón durante las cuatro temporadas algodoneras más recientes. La contribución básica para el año 2011/12 es de 18.300 dólares y el monto adicional es de 111,93 dólares por cada 1.000 toneladas, calculado sobre la base promedio del comercio del algodón (importaciones más exportaciones). REUNIONES PLENARIAS Las reuniones plenarias del Comité Consultivo se celebran todos los años por invitación de un gobierno miembro, alternándose cuanto más posible entre países importadores y exportadores de algodón. El Comité Permanente prepara una agenda provisional y un programa para cada reunión plenaria. En la reunión, se facilita el intercambio de información sobre la situación algodonera en diferentes países y se delibera acerca de asuntos de política internacional. A partir de los años sesenta, las actividades de la Sección de Información Técnica han incluido la organización de un seminario técnico anual con ocasión de la reunión plenaria. La Secretaría del Comité prepara una publicación de las actas de cada reunión plenaria. Los idiomas oficiales del CCIA son el árabe, español, francés, inglés y ruso. En las reuniones plenarias se provee interpretación simultánea completa. EL COMITE PERMANENTE Un Comité Permanente, integrado por representantes de todos los países miembros da continuidad a las actividades del Comité Consultivo Internacional del Algodón entre reuniones plenarias. El Comité Permanente se reúne en Washington DC. Se presta atención a la actual situación algodonera mundial, los temas de política algodonera y también a las directivas de la reunión plenaria. LA SECRETARIA La Secretaría del Comité tiene su sede en Washington, DC y está compuesta por un personal internacional encabezado por el Director Ejecutivo, cuyo nombramiento y contrato de empleo está determinado por la reunión plenaria. Los siguientes individuos han servido como directores ejecutivos (Secretarios Ejecutivos). Sr. Rodney Whitaker, feb 1947-marzo 1949 Sr. Robert Evans, abril 1949-febrero 1963 Dr. J. C. Santley, marzo 1963-dic 1986 Dr. Lawrence H. Shaw, enero 1987-dic 1998 Dr. Terry P. Townsend, enero 1999La Secretaría presta apoyo al Comité llevando a cabo su programa de trabajo que consiste en suministrar y publicar estadísticas y análisis completos sobre la situación mundial del algodón; reunir y diseminar información científica sobre investigación de la producción algodonera; cooperar con otras organizaciones para promover una economía sana en el mundo algodonero; y facilitar las discusiones en materias relacionadas con los precios del algodón. AGENCIAS COORDINADORAS Las regulaciones del Comité determinan que cada gobierno miembro debe establecer “agencias nacionales permanentes de coordinación” para que suministren a la Secretaría todos los meses estadísticas sobre la situación algodonera y para que distribuyan en sus países publicaciones e informes recibidos de la Secretaría. En virtud de este arreglo de cooperación ha habido una mejora continua en la cantidad y calidad de las estadísticas disponibles sobre el algodón a nivel mundial. Se solicita con frecuencia a las agencias coordinadoras que suministren información por medio de cuestionarios especializados enviados por el Comité. La cooperación de las agencias ha hecho posible llevar a cabo encuestas mundiales sobre diferentes temas de importancia para los gobiernos miembros. 5 OVERVIEW OF THE WORLD COTTON MARKET IN 2010/11 Cotton is one of the most important and widely produced agricultural and industrial crops in the world. Cotton is grown in more than 80 countries on about 2% of the world’s arable land, making it one of the most significant in terms of land use after food grains and soybeans. Cotton is also a heavily traded agricultural commodity, with over 100 countries involved in exports or imports. More than 100 million family units are engaged directly in cotton production. When family labor, hired-on farm labor and workers in ancillary services such as transportation, ginning, baling and storage are considered, then involvement in the cotton sector reaches between 250 and 300 million people. Cotton also provides employment to additional millions in allied industries such as agricultural inputs, machinery and equipment, cottonseed crushing and textile manufacturing. Cotton cultivation contributes to food security and improved life expectancy in rural areas of developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Cotton played an important role in industrial development starting in the 17th century and continues to do so today as a major source of revenue. The annual value of world cotton production averaged $47 billion between 2006/07 and 2010/11. The world cotton industry experienced dramatic changes over the last six decades as production nearly quadrupled, rising from 7 million tons in 1950/51 to 27 million tons in 2004/05. The average annual rate of growth in world production over the last six decades has been almost 3% per year. World demand for cotton has also increased Million Tons WORLD COTTON SUPPLY AND USE 30 28 Mill Use 26 24 22 Production 20 18 00/01 02/03 04/05 06/07 08/09 10/11 COTLOOK A INDEX Season-average (US cents/lb) 180 164 160 140 120 100 80 Average 73-97: 74 US cents/lb Average 98-09: 59 US cents/lb 60 40 20 78/79 82/83 86/87 90/91 94/95 98/99 02/03 06/07 10/11 at an impressive pace, rising from 8 million tons in 1950 to 27 million tons in 2007/08. The world cotton industry experienced robust demand growth and rising yields over the six decades since the end of World War II. The global economic crisis of 2008/09 translated into a sharp drop in industrial cotton consumption and a fall in international cotton prices. A three-year decline in production combined with a strong rebound in mill use reduced global cotton stocks to a 15-year low at the end of 2009/10. Continued firm demand and declining stocks in the first part of 2010/11 pushed cotton prices to record levels. However, demand for cotton collapsed in the second part of the season, triggering a rapid descent in prices. Extreme price volatility during 2010/11 resulted in a significant increase in the number of cancellations and defaults on contracts for trade in cotton. International cotton prices have declined in real terms over the last six decades because of advances in technology. During the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, the average world price of cotton in nominal terms was 70 U.S. cents per pound. The average international price during the 2000s was 60 U.S. cents per pound, in line with declining marginal costs of production for average producers. However, a significant tightening in stocks, combined with firm demand, pushed international cotton prices to much higher levels in 2009/10 and 2010/11. The Cotlook A Index averaged 78 U.S. cents per pound in 2009/10 and jumped to a record of $1.64 per pound in 2010/11. 6 SUMMARY OF ONGOING PROJECTS BETWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL COTTON ADVISORY COMMITTEE (ICAC) AND THE COMMON FUND FOR COMMODITIES (CFC) The ICAC serves as the International Commodity Body for Cotton and Cotton Textiles. Since the CFC became operational in the early 1990s, 22 cotton projects valued at over US$70 million have been supported. So far, the CFC has provided US$5.7 million in loan financing and over US$25 million in grant financing. Cofinancing has accounted for US$16.3 million, and counterpart contributions have accounted for over US$20 million. Three projects are currently being supervised by ICAC: 1) CFC/ICAC 33 Commercial Standardization of Instrument Testing of Cotton Project Executing Agency: Faserinstitut Bremen e.V., Germany Estimated Project Cost: $7.9 million CFC Grant: $2.030 million Counterpart Contributions: $2.9 million EC Co-financing: $3.0 million The purpose of this project is to promote and establish international standardization of cotton classification based on the Universal Calibration Cotton Standards for micronaire, upper-half mean length, length uniformity index, strength, Rd color and +b color. Major external partners are AMS Cotton Program of the United States Department of Agriculture and Bremer Baumwollbörse (Bremen Cotton Exchange), Germany. ________ 2) CFC/ICAC 37 Improving Cotton Production Efficiency in Small-scale Farming Systems in East Africa (Kenya and Mozambique) Through Better Vertical Integration of the Supply Chain Project Executing Agency: CABI Africa Estimated Project Cost: $2.5 million CFC Grant: $800,000 EU Co-financing: $715,000 Counterpart Contribution: $1.0 million The project purpose is to improve cotton production efficiency through formulation and promotion of ICM options in cotton production systems in Kenya and Mozambique by involving private enterprises and public organizations. OPEC is a supporter. ________ 3) CFC/ICAC 38 Prevention of Seedcotton Contamination in West Africa (Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Mali) Project Executing Agency: International Fertilizer Development Centre (IFDC), Lomé, Togo Estimated Project Cost: $7.045 million CFC Grant: $2.0 million EU Co-financing: $4.0 Counterpart Contribution: $1.5 million The project aims to increase direct income accrued by smallholder cotton producers in the selected production areas through assistance to enable them to produce and sell uncontaminated seedcotton. OPEC and the WB are supporters. ________ 7 OFFICERS OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE 2010/11 BUREAU DE LA COMMISSION PERMANENTE 2010/11 OFICIALES DEL COMITE PERMANENTE 2010/11 Patrick A.
