The Geneva meeting of the Preparatory Committee of the International Conference on Trade and Employment, in session from April 10 to October 30,1947, had the twofold task of completing the charter for an International Trade Organization and carrying out detailed negotiations among the 18 countries for a general agreement on tariffs and trade. Work on the charter was completed on August 22, 1947, when in plenary session the Preparatory Committee adopted the draft document. On October 30, representatives of 23 countries signed the Final Act, thus completing over 100 separate negotiations for the purpose of reducing trade barriers of various types. The results were incorporated in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
