4. The Chairman noted that, as requested by the Council at its meeting in February 2003, the Secretariat had updated its informal note that listed all the outstanding material required to complete the reviews that the Council had already undertaken (JOB(03)/101). The table attached to the note listed those Members whose reviews had been initiated at the Council's meetings in April, June and November 2001, and March and June 2002 but had not yet been completed, and it identified all the outstanding material. In addition, the note also listed a number of Members whose reviews had already been deleted from the Council's agenda, but to whom further questions had been posed.
5. The Chairman said that the note did not cover the reviews initiated most recently. Therefore, he first reverted to the follow-up to the normal review of China's TRIPS implementing legislation which the Council had taken up at its meeting in September 2002 combined with the review under the transitional review mechanism under China's Accession Protocol. There was still one initial question, namely question 14 from Korea, to which a response had not yet been received. In addition, further follow-up questions had been posed to China in April 2003 by Japan (IP/C/W/362/Add.4).
