132. Turning to the arrangements for the Council's second review under the Decision, the Chairman recalled that its paragraph 1 provided that developed country Members shall submit annually reports on actions taken or planned in pursuance of their commitments under Article 66.2. To this end, they must provide new detailed reports every third year and, in the intervening years, provide updates to their most recent reports. These reports must be submitted prior to the last Council meeting scheduled for the year in question. Paragraph 3 of the Decision determined the information that must be provided in these reports. The first set of detailed annual reports under the Decision had been presented to the Council's meeting in November 2003. Therefore, in 2004, developed country Members should submit updates to these reports prior to the Council's end-of-year meeting that had been scheduled for 30 November through 2 December. As provided in paragraph 2 of the Decision, the Council should review these updates at that meeting. Accordingly, he suggested that developed country Members be requested to submit updates to the reports they had provided last year on actions they had taken or planned in pursuance of their commitments under Article 66.2 by 9 November, i.e. three weeks before the meeting, in order to allow their timely circulation and review at the Council's meeting in November.
