Chairperson: Ambassador Dacio Castillo, Honduras
1 NEGOTIATIONS ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MULTILATERAL SYSTEM OF NOTIFICATION AND REGISTRATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS FOR WINES AND SPIRITS
1.27. The representative of Chile thanked the Chairman for his leadership and for the meeting held to prepare for this session. She said that the questions the Chair had put forward allowed Members to clearly focus in the discussions in this meeting. With respect to the role of the TRIPS Special Session in preparing for the Buenos Aires Ministerial Conference, Chile believed that the work carried out to date would not play any meaningful role in the run-up to December's Conference. As reflected in previous Chair's reports, Members had not managed to hold substantive discussions in this regard in recent years. 1.28. After the 11th Ministerial Conference, she said, it would be advisable to reflect on the expectations and goals of this negotiation, and what would be possible to achieve. This would allow Members to focus realistically on fulfilling the negotiating mandate that was being granted to them. Her delegation's view remained unchanged in that work should continue within the specific mandate granted to the TRIPS Special Session.
The Special Session took note of the statements made.
