Pursuant to decisions made by the Committee in April and November 1998, respectively, the OECD and the ACP Group are invited to attend meetings on an ad hoc basis. Requests for Observer status from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa and the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting are under consideration by Members.

6. As of the beginning of the review period, the PGE had three members, Mr Subash Pillai (Malaysia); Mr Ichiro Araki (Japan); and Ms Luz Elena Reyes de la Torre (Mexico).
