124. The Chairman recalled that Article 24.2 provided that the Council would keep under review the application of the provisions of the geographical indication section of the Agreement, and that the first such review would take place within two years of the entry into force of the WTO Agreement. At its meeting in June 2003, the Council had invited those Members that had not provided information in response to the Checklist of Questions contained in document IP/C/13 and addendum 1 to do so. The Secretariat had issued airgram WTO/AIR/2183 on 3 October 2003 to remind Members of the Council's invitation to provide this information. Since the Council's meeting in June, further responses had been received from Uruguay, and circulated in addendum 28 to document IP/C/W/117. To date, the Council had received responses to the Checklist from 44 Members. These responses, except for the more recent ones, had been summarized in a Secretariat note contained in document IP/C/W/253. At its meeting in June 2003, the Council had requested the Secretariat to update this summary note to take into account the information received from Members in response to the Checklist of Questions since its circulation in April 2001. This update was in the process of being finalized.2
