Ambassador Carlos Pérez del Castillo (Uruguay)
K REVIEW OF THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 27.3(b)
84. The representative of the Philippines, while agreeing that the synoptic table provided a valuable compilation of factual information, reiterated that the work under Article 27.3(b) was not just limited to gathering information on what existed. The review concerned policy issues and, to that end, various delegations had expressed certain policy concerns. It was, as India had said, a review of the substance of Article 27.3(b), and not just a review of how it had been implemented. His delegation manifested its hope and expectation that, at the end of the day, Members would be able to decide on the modalities for the submission of possible amendments to Article 27.3(b).
