The Chairman recalled that, at its meeting in March 2002, the Council had urged those Members that had not provided responses to the checklist of questions contained in document IP/C/13 and Add.1 to do so before the present meeting, if possible. The Secretariat had issued airgram WTO/AIR/1756 on 26 March 2002 to remind Members of the Council's invitation to provide this information. Since the Council's meeting in November 2002, further responses had been received from Slovenia, and circulated in addendum 27 to document IP/C/W/117. To date, the Council had received responses to the Checklist from 44 Members. These responses, except for the six most recent ones, had been summarized in a Secretariat note contained in document IP/C/W/253.
