IRO SUB-GROUP: MULTILATERAL TREATIES: INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

1. I attach a fax from Hong Kong concerning draft papers for the IRO sub-group. They seem to me to be fairly uncontentious. The paper on the Berne Union does not seem to take into account the recent Chinese announcement that they will soon be joining thee Berne Union themselves. I should be grateful for any comments by 24 July.

RAS but.
