Referring to the new Swiss submission, he said that it was constructive and should be complementary to the discussion in the TRIPS Council. He thanked the European Communities for their constructive statement, and said that all the matters in the checklist should be looked at carefully by the Council. He hoped that his delegation would be in a position to reply to the points raised by the European Communities in the near future. He also said that the European Communities' substantive and constructive intervention and other favourable reactions to the checklist of issues showed that there was plenty of space to move forward on this issue in the Council.
