2.1. The Chairman recalled that, at its meeting in June 2012, the Council had initiated the review of Maldives' implementing legislation. At the Council's meeting in November, Maldives had introduced the responses it had provided to the questions posed to it. At that meeting, he had indicated that, since the responses had been made available as advance copies and were not yet available in all WTO languages, he intended to provide Members more time to study the responses. Since then, the introductory statement made by Maldives, the questions put to it and the responses given in connection with that review had been circulated in document IP/Q/MDV/1.
2.2. Since there were no further follow-up questions, he suggested that the review of Maldives be removed from the agenda, it being understood that any delegation should feel free to revert to any matter stemming from that review at any time.
