Additional Info | C/M/15 (15/05/1963) Minutes of Council Meeting (25/04/1963-01/05/1963) At Uruguay's request, the Council gave authority to reconvene the panel of experts at a date to be fixed by the Executive Secretary. L/2012 (06/06/1963) Communication from Uruguay (16/05/1963) to Executive Secretary requesting Panel meeting to consider replies from 7 Contracting Parties requesting a recommendation on their degree of compliance and other compatibility matters. L/2074 (30/10/1963) Report of the Panel on Uruguayan Recourse to Article XXIII: The Contracting Parties had recommended that Austria, Belgium, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Norway and Sweden give immediate consideration to the removal of measures that nullify or impair benefits accruing to Uruguay. Failure to remove the measure or provide "satisfactory judgment" would entitle Uruguay to suspend obligations or concessions. Uruguay requested that the Panel make a recommendation on the extent of compliance, but the Panel considered its competence was limited to consideration of any proposal by Uruguay regarding the suspension of obligations or concessions. The Panel nevertheless commented on the reports submitted by the parties and stood ready to deal with any proposals from Uruguay in that regard. |
