Ambassador Carlos Pérez del Castillo (Uruguay)
F REVIEW OF THE APPLICATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECTION ON GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 24.2
62. The representative of Mexico said that her delegation was analysing the responses to the Checklist provided by other delegations and might have some comments to make on them. She believed that it would facilitate an analysis of this information to consider the EC proposal to ask the Secretariat to prepare a synopsis of the responses received. This exercise should be without prejudice to the rights and obligations under the Agreement and on the understanding that the purpose of this exercise would be to assist Members in obtaining a general panorama in a comparative form of the various systems used in different Members to provide protection for geographical indications. This exercise would be most useful for the work under Article 23.4.
