Paris and London have received glowing reports from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) evaluation commission which examined their bids to stage the 2012 Olympics.
   The commission released its 123-page report on Monday, one month before the July 6 vote on the Games venue in Singapore, and said the Paris and London bids were of "very high quality."
   New York and Madrid had made "high quality" presentations, it said. Moscow was criticized for a lack of detailed planning.
   London bookmakers cut London’s odds to 11-4 from 3-1. Paris remains strong favorite to stage the Games at 14. Beijing will host the 2008 Games.
   The commission praised Paris’s excellent accommodation proposal, high capacity and quality road and rail transport systems plus its "well-documented and achievable" budget.
   London’s budget was "well-supported and achievable" and its bid "indicated a high level of planning."
   There was a cautionary note regarding London’s transport system, however, and the size of the Olympic Park project.
   The report said transport demands would be met in London providing "the substantial program of public transport improvements is fully delivered before 2012.
   "We are in good shape to take the battle even harder and further towards our goal," Sebastian Goe, former double Olympic champion and chairman of London’s bidding committee, told a news conference in Lon don.
   Paris mayor Bertrand Delanoe told a news conference: "We have 30 days left to prove that we deserve the honor to host the Games. And this is what ray staff and myself are going to work to.
