REPORT OF THE SIXTY-THIRD MEETING
1. The Textiles Monitoring Body held its sixty-third meeting on 14 February 2000.
2. Mr. Tadpitakkul appointed Mr. Johannes R. Bernabe (Philippines) to replace Mr. Hastjarjo
(Indonesia) as his alternate.
3. Present at this meeting were the following members and/or alternates: Messrs. Babajide;
Chung; Ehlers; Karapinar/Pospís ˇil; Khalil;  Kobayashi; Ms. Loi; Messrs. Moroz;
Tadpitakkul/Bernabe; Tagliani.
4. The TMB adopted the report of its sixty-second meeting (G/TMB/R/61).
5. The TMB had a discussion on whether to continue to list those notifications which had
remained on its draft agenda for several months in the draft agenda for subsequent meetings, since the
Body was not in a position to take further action regarding them unless the clarifications it had sought
from the respective Members were provided.1  The TMB decided to take these notifications off its
subsequent draft agendas until an answer to TMB’s  request for clarifications would be provided by a
Member concerned, at which point the matter in question would be reinstated on the draft agenda of
the subsequent meeting.2
