Striking that this bit is identical to the USTR’s language:

“Participants confirmed their intention to continue consulting with their respective stakeholders, and to share the results of the consultations at their next meeting.”

I’m confident that some stakeholders somewhere are being consulted, but the process is still quite far from transparent or structured in such a way so as to invite oversight.

Sadly true. As Colin said the other day, it’s pitiful what we are taking the lead on.

“Participants also continued their previous discussions of civil enforcement of IPR.””

A matter in which NZ has taken a world leading role.
