Corrigendum 
Paragraph 1.241  should read as follows : 
"Regarding its accession process to the WTO, as had been rightly mentioned by Belarus, Uzbekistan  
was also interested in holding a fourth  Working Party Session as soon as possible. The Government 
of Uzbekistan attach ed great importance to an early resumption of the Work ing Party after merely 
fifteen years of inactivity. Since last summer, Uzbekistan ha d circulated a comprehensive s et of 
documentary inputs including those circulated the previous week and had a lso highlight ed its robust 
commitment in joining the WTO based on market reforms. There was already sufficient documentary 
base to hold the fourth  meeting of the Working Party as had been mentioned by the Chair of its 
Working Party  in her letter circulated  on 14 May  among th e members of the Working Party. 
Uzbekistan  convey ed its strong desire to hold the fourth meeting at the earliest possible date 
including in virtual format. Uzbekistan was  working with  the Secretariat regarding the technical and 
logistical feasibility in or ganizing a Working Party meeting virtually. Once again, Uzbekistan 
encourage d Members to consider engaging  in some parallel bilateral market access negotiations 
directly with Tashkent as soon as possible. "
