At its first three meetings in 2003 (17-18 March 2003, 18-19 September 2003 and 22-23 January 2004) the Committee focussed on elaborating its procedures and modus operandi.

At the fifth meeting (23-24 September 2004) the Committee discussed admissibility of four new communications as well as issues related to its Modus Operandi.

At its 6th meeting the Committee discussed the subject matter of the first five communications as well as some of the claims made in submission ACCC/S/2004/01. The Chairperson's introduction to the discussion is available here.

At its seventh meeting the Committee focused on preparation of its report to the Meeting of the Parties and finalized its decisions with regard to five communications and one submission discussed earlier.
