Ambassador W. Armstrong (New Zealand)
G.iii.a Review of the application of the provisions of the section on geographical indications under Article 24.2
62. The representative of Brazil said that a longer timeframe was needed to discuss the modalities of the review under Article 24.2. His delegation had the intention to submit follow-up questions in the context of the review of national implementing legislation that the Council had carried out in November 1996 and he assumed that other developing countries were contemplating the same. The suggestion made by the United States to come back to this matter at the July meeting seemed appropriate to his delegation.
