  • the worldwide development of trade agreements under the World Trade Organization,

  • recommends that national metrology institutes

  • continue to initiate and coordinate national activities in the field of metrology in chemistry, in close cooperation with other relevant bodies,
  • in collaboration with the International Committee, work to define the areas of priority and essential international comparisons which are key to the traceability of measurements in chemistry, both worldwide and within regions.
