Dear governance list colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since I know some of you also are concerned with public
health and IP issues, you may be interested to know that today,
CCIA has made a press statement that it endorses the call of
LDCs for an indefinite deferral for full implementation of the
TRIPS Agreement. You can find the press release <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ccianet.org/index.asp?sid=5&artid=363&evtflg=False">online
here</a>. I believe - please correct me if I am wrong - that
we are the first trade association to do this. I hope more
follow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is also an OpEd from me in IP Watch further elaborating
on why we have done this <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ip-watch.org/2013/03/04/should-industry-support-ldcs-request-for-unlimited-time-to-implement-the-trips-agreement-absolutely/">available
here</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My apologies in advance if this does not interest you and/or
you see it as off-topic.</div>
