The Chairperson recalled that the General Council Decision on the Doha Work Programme provided, under the title "Other elements of the Work Programme", that the moratorium covered by paragraph 11.1 of the Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns was extended up to the Sixth Ministerial Conference. She also recalled that paragraph 11.1 of the Doha Decision read as follows: "The TRIPS Council is directed to continue its examination of the scope and modalities for complaints of the types provided for under subparagraphs 1(b) and 1(c) of Article XXIII of GATT 1994 and make recommendations to the Fifth Session of the Ministerial Conference. It is agreed that, in the meantime, Members will not initiate such complaints under the TRIPS Agreement."

In light of her informal consultations, she suggested that the item on non-violation and situation complaints be put on the agenda of the next meeting of the TRIPS Council and that the Secretariat be requested to update its earlier summary note, circulated in June 2002 as document IP/C/W/349, on the points raised in the Council's substantive discussion of this matter so far.
