_______________
1. The Council for Trade in Services held a Special Session on 26 May 2000.  The agenda for
the meeting is contained in document WTO/AIR/ 1307.  No points were raised under Other Business.
41. The representative of Uruguay said that negotiating guidelines and procedures, mandated
under Article XIX, had to be drafted on the basis of Members' proposals.  He echoed Brazil's and
Malaysia's comments as concerned the draft Seattle text, and said that it was important to rememberthat there was also a draft Seattle text for other built-in-agenda negotiations.  He sought further
clarifications on the compilation proposed by the European Communities.
64. The representative of Uruguay stated that no Seattle text was ever approved, and hence it was
not possible to update a document that did not exist;  another text was necessary, and if some
delegations were suggesting working on the basis of the draft Seattle text, it was essential to
remember that a draft Seattle text also existed for other built-in-agenda negotiations like agriculture
which should also be taken into account.  He added that the Secretariat had an administrative function,and could not update or submit proposals, as these were Members' sole responsibility.  In this respect,
he noted that the "road-map", which was just a work programme, had been elaborated on the basis of
Members' original submissions and the same should happen when it came to the more important
process of establishing negotiating guidelines and procedures.
