2. The Chairperson informed the Council that the Secretariat had updated its note reflecting the status of the notifications received from these Members so far (JOB(01)/133). The note showed from which of the Members in question notifications had been received by 14 September 2001. Since then, additional notifications of laws and regulations had been received from Costa Rica (IP/N/1/CRI/1/Add.1) and Nigeria (IP/N/1/NGA/C/1, I/1 and T/1). Although there were more notifications than at the time of the Council's previous meeting, he said that there were still Members whose legislation was scheduled to be reviewed in 2001 who had not yet submitted any notification concerning their implementing legislation. Notifications from a number of other Members were incomplete. Once again, he urged these Members to submit the outstanding material without delay. He recalled that pursuant to Article 63.2 of the Agreement the notifications of the laws and regulations in question were due as of 1 January 2000. He urged the delegations in question, if some of the material to be notified was not yet ready, to submit whatever could be notified at once and complement the notification later when other parts of the material were ready. He reminded delegations that, under the Agreement Between WIPO and the WTO and decisions taken by WIPO's Governing Bodies, the International Bureau of WIPO was in a position to assist delegations with the translation of their main dedicated intellectual property laws and regulations, as required.
