The Committee recalled the usefulness of the above referenced document, welcomed by the 30th Session of the Committee, and noted that to date the input from Member countries and international organizations for updating the document had been limited. The Committee also noted that the CCGP was considering several issues such as “Risk Analysis”, “Revision of Acceptance Procedure” and “Review of the Statements of Principle of the Role of Science and the Extent to Which Other Factors should be Taken into Account” which, when completed, could have implications to the content of the document. The Committee decided to defer further consideration pending the outcome of considerations by the next sessions of the CCGP and the CAC on the issues enumerated above. Member governments and interested international organizations were once again invited through a circular letter to send their comments on the CX/PR 98/13 to Mr Wessel (ITIC).
