110. The representative of Korea did not wish to comment on the questions outlined by the Chairperson, but sought clarification of a few points concerning a document submitted by the United States on 12 February 1999. Firstly, one of the document symbols on the United States paper in question was from a series used in the Council for TRIPS. He understood from the informal meeting of the Council for Trade in Goods held on 5 February 1999 that the United States had submitted the paper for discussion on cross-cutting issues at the General Council level. He wondered whether the United States intended to have it discussed in the Council for TRIPS as well. Secondly, the United States paper was given the symbol IP/C/16, but he recalled that papers submitted to the Secretariat by delegations were all circulated in the IP/C/W/- series. He wondered what was the nature of the document.
