Mr. Tony Miller (Hong Kong, China)
World Trade Organization
A ELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON
1. The representative of the Secretariat recalled that, as the Council had been informed at its meeting in June, the former Chair of the Council had relinquished his post because of his return to his capital to take up new responsibilities. At its meeting of 20 October, the General Council had taken note of the consensus on a slate of names of chairpersons for certain WTO bodies. On the basis of the understanding reached, he proposed that the Council for TRIPS elect Mr. Tony Miller from Hong Kong, China as its Chairman for the remainder of the current term by acclamation.
