2. The Chairperson informed the Council that the Secretariat had updated and circulated its note reflecting the status of the notifications received from these Members so far (JOB(01)/157). The note showed from which of the Members in question notifications had been received by 21 November 2001. Since then, additional notifications of laws and regulations had been received from Brunei Darussalam, Ghana and Uruguay; and additional notifications of responses to the Checklist of Issues on Enforcement (IP/C/5) had been received from Ghana, India and Malaysia. From the 74 Members in question, there were now 10 who had not yet submitted any notification concerning their implementing legislation. Notifications from a number of other Members were incomplete. Once again, he urged these Members to submit the outstanding material without delay recalling that pursuant to Article 63.2 of the Agreement the notifications of the laws and regulations in question were due as of 1 January 2000. He also urged the delegations in question, if not all the material to be notified was ready yet, to submit whatever could be notified now and complement the notification as soon as other parts of the material to be notified were ready for submission. He reminded delegations again that, under the Agreement Between the World Intellectual Property Organization and the World Trade Organization and decisions taken by WIPO's Governing Bodies, the International Bureau of WIPO was in a position to assist delegations with the translation of their main dedicated intellectual property laws and regulations, as required.
