Ambassador Chak Mun See (Singapore)
C.iv Review of legislation in 2001
23. The Chairperson said that, following the informal consultations that he had held on the revised schedule for the reviews of legislation in November 2000 and in the year 2001 , he would issue a further revision in the light of the informal consultations that he had held. He was conscious that it was important to avoid the schedule from becoming too unbalanced, which would cause practical problems and burdens for delegates. He would therefore see whether there was scope for any reviews to be brought forward, taking into account that it was not essential that each and every aspect of a country's legislation be fully in conformity for a review to be nonetheless useful.
