Ambassador Dacio Castillo (Honduras)
B NOTIFICATIONS UNDER PROVISIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
46. The Chairman thanked those Members who have notified new and revised laws and thus contributed to the goal, set by the General Council, of improving the timeliness and completeness of notifications across the Organization. This was an important practical reminder of the value of a comprehensive and up to date set of notifications. He therefore urged those Members whose initial notifications of laws and regulations remained incomplete to submit the outstanding material without delay. He also reminded other Members of their obligation under the TRIPS Agreement to notify any subsequent amendments of their laws and regulations without delay after their entry into force. He especially encouraged Members to notify changes made to their laws and/or regulations to implement the Decision on TRIPS and public health.
