F TECHNICAL COOPERATION
39. The representative of the European Communities said that his delegation was a co-sponsor of the joint non-paper, because it believed that it was a useful complement to technical assistance programmes offered by international organizations such as the WTO and WIPO, as well as by the European Communities, their member States and other developed country Members. He highlighted that the proposal was informal, practical and flexible and hoped that the intended beneficiary countries would make use of it and call on the listed experts. He recalled that, at the previous meeting, he had raised the issue of the provision of technical assistance by WIPO and the WTO in light of the target date of 2006. He welcomed any future information on this issue that the Chairperson might provide so that the least-developed countries could fulfil their obligations as well.
