ESTABLISHMENT AND FUNCTIONS

Preparatory meetings on the establishment of an intergovernmental study group on lead and zinc were held under the auspices of the United Nations Economic and Social Council in London in September 1958, in Geneva in November 1958, and in New York in May 1959. The first meeting of the Group took place at the United Nations in Geneva in January 1960.

The Group provides opportunities for intergovernmental consultations on international trade in lead and zinc and for studies on the world situation in those commodities, having regard especially to providing continuous accurate information on the supply and demand position and its probable development. Financing is by annual assessment, half of which is divided equally among all members and half shared on the basis of trade interest.

COMPOSITION

28 member countries: Algeria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, European Union, Finland, France, Germany, India, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Morocco, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Russian Federation, Serbia and Montenegro, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States

STRUCTURE

The Study Group is composed of representatives of all members and meets every year. The Standing Committee, composed of representatives of the members of the Study Group, acts for the Group between sessions. The other bodies are the the Economic and Environment Committee, the Statistical and Forecasting Committee, and the Mine and Smelter Projects. An Industry Advisory Panel, consisting of senior experts from the lead and zinc industry, provides the Study Group with a body for advice and consultation.
