6. The Chairperson drew the attention of Members to the Secretariat's note reflecting the status of the notifications received from Members whose transitional periods under Article 65.2 or 65.3 expired on 1 January 2000 or who acceded to the WTO after that date (JOB(02)/13). It showed that, from the 75 Members in question, there were nine who had not yet submitted any notification concerning their implementing legislation. 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 due as of 1 January 2000, he urged these Members to submit the outstanding material without delay. He also urged the delegations in question, if not all the material to be notified was ready yet, to submit whatever could be notified now and complement the notification as soon as other parts of the material to be notified were ready for submission. He reminded delegations again that, under the Agreement Between the World Intellectual Property Organization and the World Trade Organization 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.
