  a

Bahamas is a member of the Community only.
  b The General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Committee for Development Policy, decides on the countries to be included in the list of the least developed countries.
  c There is no established convention for the designation of "developed" and "developing" countries or areas in the United Nations system. In common practice, Japan in Asia, Canada and the United States in northern America, Australia and New Zealand in Oceania and Europe are considered "developed" regions or areas. In international trade statistics, the Southern African Customs Union is also treated as a developed region and Israel as a developed country; and countries of eastern Europe and the former USSR countries in Europe are not included under either developed or developing regions.
  d Developing countries or areas are listed according to income level by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development; see Development Assistance Committee, Development Cooperation: 1995 Report (Paris, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, 1996).
