GCC Secretary General Abdullatif Al-Zayani stressed directives by the GCC leaders on providing a favorable comprehensive legislative environment for realizing economic integration among the member states. The ministerial meeting discusses a host of topics and recommendations submitted by the GCC trade ministries undersecretaries who held a preparatory meeting earlier this month. These are topped with obstacles of pan-GCC trade, GCC Trade Mark Law, a Secretariat memorandum on the 16th GCC fair, the executive rule of the bloc's trade mark law, and a guidebook on measures and models of economic activities. The Ministers will also address a memorandum by the GCC Secretariat on the Accounting and Auditing Organization (GCCAAO), and recommendations by the Intellectual Property Committee and the GCC World Organizations Committee (WTOs). --SPA 18:38 LOCAL TIME 15:38 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
