The APRC discussed a proposal regarding the implementation of an interim solution to the situation in the North and East presented by the EPDP leader, Hon. Douglas Devananda, at its meeting on 17th December 2007. It was the opinion of the APRC members that the setting up of an Interim Administration could be done within the terms of the present Constitution and there was no need for the APRC to be involved in the matter. The APRC decided to continue its mandated task as speedily as possible.

In addition the APRC members generally agreed to a suggestion that local government and provincial council elections should be held in the East and North as early as is feasible.
