1. The Chairman drew attention to the Secretariat's updated note reflecting the status of the notifications received from Members so far (JOB(04)/5). The note showed from which of the Members in question notifications had been received and/or circulated by 2 March 2004. From the 81 Members in question, there were still four who had not yet submitted any notification concerning their implementing legislation, namely Papua New Guinea; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; and Swaziland. Notifications from a number of other Members were incomplete. Recalling that pursuant to Article 63.2 of the Agreement the notifications of the laws and regulations in question were generally due as of 1 January 2000, he urged all Members with unfulfilled notification obligations to submit the outstanding material without delay.
