The Committee expressed its appreciation for that in its concluding observations. 42. Two country rapporteurs were designated by the Committee for each of the reports considered, as reflected in the tables above. IV. Follow-up to concluding observations on States parties’ reports 43. At its thirtieth session, in May 2003, the Committee developed a procedure to provide for follow-up subsequent to the adoption of the concluding observations on reports of States parties under article 19 of the Convention. 4 The Committee has presented information in each of its annual reports thereafter, outlining its experience in receiving information on follow-up measures taken by States parties, including substantive trends and further modifications it has made in the procedure. A more detailed description of the procedure can be found in the guidelines for follow-up to concluding observations, adopted by the Committee at its fifty-fifth session (CAT/C/55/3). 44. In accordance with its rules of procedure, at its fifty-seventh session in April/May 2016, the Committee appointed a new Rapporteur for follow-up to concluding observations, Mr. Hani. At the fifty-eighth, fifty-ninth and sixtieth sessions, the Rapporteur presented progress reports to the Committee on the procedure. 45. From May 2003 to the end of the sixtieth session, in May 2017, the Committee reviewed 208 reports from States parties for which it identified follow-up recommendations. Of the 184 follow-up reports that had been due by 12 May 2017, at the time of the adoption of the present report, 138 had been received by the Committee, for a 75 per cent overall response rate. The status of the follow-up is compiled in a chart maintained on the web page of the Committee. 5 Additional information, including submissions by States parties, communications sent by the Rapporteur for follow-up, State party responses and reports from national human rights institutions, non-governmental organizations and other civil society actors, are posted on that web page. 46.
