5. The representative of the United States said that his delegation was anxiously awaiting notifications under Article 63.2 relating to Articles 3, 4 and 5 of the Agreement. He underlined the importance of the national treatment and MFN obligations under the Agreement and their particular significance, at this point in time, for the protection of intellectual property in developing countries. Therefore, he urged delegations to make those notifications as soon as possible and enable other Members in the Council to assess whether national and most-favoured-nation treatment was provided to right holders as required by the Agreement.
