The Chairperson recalled that, at the previous meeting of the Council on 1 and 2 December 1998, the delegation of Haiti had requested information from developed country Members on how Article 66.2 was being implemented and the Council had agreed that this question be circulated in an informal document of the TRIPS Council to all Members and that developed country Members be invited to supply information in response to this request (which had subsequently been circulated in informal document No. 7093 of 23 December 1998). At that meeting, the delegation of Switzerland had already provided some information to the Council. Since then, a written submission had been received from New Zealand, which would be circulated shortly as document IP/C/W/132.
