The Security Council had previously raised the limit on the value of oil that Iraq was allowed to export under the Programme, and the increased limit would be valid until 4 December. Though several members of the Council supported the adoption of Resolution 1275 to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the Programme, they expressed concern that the Council was unable to reach a consensus on how to approach the Iraq situation.[1] Disagreements amongst the Council continued to affect the adoption of further resolutions on the Oil-for-Food Programme.[2]
