Malaysia said
that the report should indicate that the annex containing the indicative list of criteria for the assessment of the
effectiveness of any rules and procedures referred to in Biosafety Protocol Article 27
is non-exhaustive, and that it was finalized after informal consultations and on the basis that it was not negotiated.
