1 In order to facilitate simultaneous discussion, the Preparatory Committee at the Second Session was divided into two commissions, each of which consisted of representatives of all Delegations. Commission A, and its sub-committees, prepared texts for consideration by the Preparatory Committee relating to the chapters on Employment and Economic Activity, Economic Development and General Commercial Policy (with the exception of the Articles relating to Subsidies). Similarly, Commission B prepared draft texts relating to the chapters on Purposes, Organization, Restrictive Business Practices and Inter-governmental Commodity Agreements, as well as the Articles on Subsidies. Each Commission established sub-committees for the further study of individual Articles or groups of Articles (see Enclosure 3). All drafts were reviewed at the final plenary meetings of the Preparatory Committee.
