181. The representative of the Secretariat stated that, under the ideas in the Draft Text, the major documentation which might be referred to in a notification, but not contained in the two-page notification, would probably be the legal instrument forming the basis for protection of the geographical indication at the national level, as provided under paragraph 2.2(c). This documentation would be referred to, but not attached to the notification or translated. Only the reference to the document, but not the document itself, would be translated. If the reference was to an existing WTO document, and to the extent that it had already been translated, those translations would be available.
