Ambassador Manzoor Ahmad (Pakistan)
C.vii Remarks by the Chair
185. The Chairman said that the discussion had been focused on the priority concerns and hence useful. He hoped that the points made had helped Members to better understand each other's concerns and invited them to think further on how certain concerns or fears could be allayed. He noted that, while in some areas, such as legal effects/consequence of registration and participation, Members were still far apart, on some others, such as notification, there seemed to be more common ground. His sense was that on issues such as fees and costs there was need for more work to clarify the issues and the differences.
