A/HRC/12/WG.2/TF/2 page 24 (b) An assessment of the Caribbean Forum of African, Caribbean and Pacific States-European Community economic partnership agreements and other such agreements with a view to making recommendations, if necessary, relating to the implementation of the right to development, in the light of preparation for the second review of the Cotonou Agreement; (c) A return visit to the Intergovernmental Working Group on Public Health, Innovation and Intellectual Property to discuss specific recommendations of the consultant that the task force has endorsed. 107. The task force also recommends that a dialogue be opened with: (a) The WIPO Development Agenda with a view to providing input to the Conference on Intellectual Property and Global Challenges to be held in Geneva on 13 and 14 July 2009, including by participating in it; (b) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on the clean development mechanism and to consider contributing to the Climate Change Conference in December 2009. In anticipation of that dialogue, the task force proposes that a study be commissioned on the right to development issues that arise in the context of climate change, including whether and how the poorest countries benefit from the clean development mechanism and suggestions regarding criteria and subcriteria theron. 108. The task force reiterates the utility of holding a dialogue with MERCOSUR, and proposes, after receiving the official invitation from MERCOSUR, a technical mission to attend a meeting of high officers from human rights and ministries of foreign affairs of MERCOSUR countries, to explore experiences and best practices of MERCOSUR and Associate States on the implementation of the right to development. 109. The task force proposes to collect and analyse information on the Heavily-Indebted Poor Countries and the Multilateral Debt Relief Initiatives, through appropriate consultations with the World Bank and IMF and subject to their agreement, with a view to identifying the ways these programmes contribute to the implementation of the right to development. B. Further development and refinement of the criteria 110. While recognizing that the ongoing application of the criteria through a dialogue with the institutions responsible for the identified partnerships contributes to the improvement of criteria and to promoting the implementation of the right to development, the task force gives highest priority to improving the criteria with a view to submitting, in 2010, a final set of criteria serving the purposes set out in relevant provisions of Council resolution 9/3.
