• Thank you to all those who spoke in favour of our proposal.
• For those who are new to this proposal, what we have proposed are a series of modest tweaks to the 2002 decision which would build on and enhance the transparency of documents while retaining the right of any Member to keep its own communications restrictions when necessary. It also adds guidance on the WTO website.
• We believe that this decision will help to modernize the WTO and will help external stakeholders to better understand this organization and the work that we undertake here.
• We hope that the General Council can agree to make these changes and adopt the resulting revised decision.
