Ambassador Chak Mun See (Singapore)
L REVIEW OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 71.1
149. The representative of Argentina referred to the distinction between, on the one hand, the review of the implementation of the Agreement after the expiration of the Article 65.2 transitional period and at two year intervals thereafter and, on the other hand, reviews in the light of new developments which might warrant amendment of the Agreement. In general, she agreed with the statements made by Australia and Brazil at the previous Council meeting to the effect that Article 71.1 included a logical sequence and it would not be reasonable to change that. The Council should concentrate on examining the implementation of obligations that already existed taking into account the fact that the implementing legislation of the majority of developing countries had not yet been subject to review by the Council.
