C NEGOTIATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MULTILATERAL SYSTEM OF NOTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS FOR WINES AND SPIRITS
7. The Chairperson recalled that it had been understood at the June meeting that participants would, at the September meeting, go into the issue of the "mechanics" of a notification and registration system as suggested in paragraph 8 of his informal note (JOB(02)/49), including such matters as procedures for notification, opposition, registration and modification as well as issues of cost and the possible role of the Secretariat. It had also been understood that participants could continue the discussion of the four categories of points and issues identified in his note that were covered in June, as well as having a first examination of any new or modified proposals. He proposed to start with new communications.
It was so agreed.
