REVIEW OF LEGISLATION
Communication from Suriname
Addendum
By means of a communication from the delegation of Suriname, dated 26 May 2003, the
Secretariat has received the following letter addr essed to the Chairman of the Council for TRIPS.
_______________
I refer to your letter, dated 4 April 2003, concerning the review of Suriname's TRIPS
implementing legislation, and wish to inform you that the Parliament of Suriname has not yetapproved the two drafts, one on industrial property that concerns trademarks, patents and industrial
designs, and another on copyright and related rights, to which I referred in my earlier letter (circulated
as document IP/C/W/283/Add.3).
Consequently, Suriname is still not yet in a position to provide responses to the questions
posed to it in the context of the review.
I wish to ensure the Council that we will make every effort to submit all the outstanding
material before the Council's next meeting.  If not, we will inform you of the status of our work.
I thank those WTO Members who have shown an interest in Suriname's legislation by posing
questions.
