According to France, privatization will help the public because it will improve the quality of the services, unemployment, health service and transportation service. Iran said yes to privatization but with measures and Nicaragua spoke from experience and explained that the United Nations should privatize nothing because many countries are in economic crisis and they cannot afford more mistakes.
Meanwhile, 4 delegates, two for each block position, went to the prep room to prepare the resolutions that they strongly supported. Continuing, some more delegations wanted to take the floor in order to express their motions and of course answer every point of information. These delegations were Nigeria, Togo, Portugal, Austria, Libya and Senegal. Finally for the last 10 minutes Director Narin Ismail, asked that those who had not spoken so far to talk about the policy of each country. These delegations included Egypt and Finland, but also some others who had not participated so far.
The conference started with the chairs’ presentations. They welcomed the delegates and presented the rules. They spoke about formal and informal debate, points, motion and yields. Nicaragua motioned and recommended the first topic: Privatization. After the agreement from the other delegates, the conference started. Germany spoke first and talked about monopolies and big markets. Then the French delegate made clear that France is in favor of actions that will be good for the public.

At the same time the chairs announced the time remaining. As time ran out, the delegates tried to find a resolution. It was not so easy. Delegates discussed with each other to make a conclusion. Delegates of Chad, Portugal, United Kingdom, Australia and China, and the United States of America talked about the effectiveness of privatization in today's economy and under which circumstances the privatization would have negative effects.
