Recommendations At the International Level Sample Clauses

Recommendations At the International Level. Since developing countries need an appropriate system of intellectual property protection but the TRIPs Agreement does not seem to have been designed as a serious attempt to meet their needs.266 The TRIPs Council should consider recommending significant changes to the TRIPs Agreement: To ease the obligations imposed on developing countries - including lengthening of transitional periods and the introduction of additional special and differential provisions. 264 Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, “Workshop on differential pricing and financing of essential drugs”, background note prepared by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, consultant to the WTO secretariat, p. 11 265 Ibid.p18. 266 Xxx xxx xxx Xxxx, Vice-President for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, PES Group.op.cit. To strengthen those provisions designed to promote the transfer and dissemination of knowledge and to achieve a balance between the rights of patent holders and the wider public interest. The solution to the problems of countries with little or no pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity must fully respect the spirit of the Doha Declaration, by ensuring that the decisions needed to tackle public health problems should as far as possible be in the hands of the public authorities of the country concerned. The solution must also minimise the risk of bureaucratic delays which could put at risk a timely response to public health crises. The solution which best meets these criteria is an authoritative interpretation of Article 30 of TRIPs, making clear that production for export in response to public health problems such as are covered by the Doha Declaration is permitted as an exception to patent holders' rights. While there are differing views among international patent lawyers on the legal arguments involved, there would seem to be no fundamental legal obstacles to an Article 30 solution. While the European Commission, on a number of grounds, favours Article 31, it should be prepared to respond helpfully to arguments from developing countries for Article 30. Furthermore, the WTO is only eight years old. Countries are still in the process of joining, including many developing countries. Countries should have impartial technical advice about coming into WTO compliance with TRIPs. The number of disputes involving public health issues is still limited. In such cases, the WTO needs to have impartial advice from public health experts.267 Note: just learned from website xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/english/news_e/pres03_e/pr350_e.htm WTO me...
