Ambassador Choi Hyuck (Korea)
I REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECTION ON GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 24.2
101. The representative of Australia said that, while her delegation had an interest in Section 3 of the TRIPS Agreement, it had some concerns with the EC proposal in relation to an options paper. Her delegation was open to participating in any informal consultations that the Chair might hold on how to address this issue in a structured and focused manner. It would have no problem with the idea of building on the work already done, but it did not believe that focusing solely on the Checklist of Issues document was appropriate at this stage.
