Este taller de tres días de duración relativo
al Acuerdo sobre los ADPIC y la salud pública, organizado por la OMC en
Ginebra, forma parte de las actividades de cooperación técnica y
creación de capacidad de la Organización. La sigla ADPIC corresponde a
los “aspectos de los derechos de propiedad intelectual relacionados con
el comercio”, y con ella se designa el Acuerdo de la OMC sobre la
propiedad intelectual.
Like earlier workshops held in Geneva since 2005, this capacity-building
activity aimed to ensure that the participants have the information
necessary so that their countries can make use of the TRIPS Agreement’s
flexibilities for public health purposes.
Entre otros temas, el taller se centró en la
flexibilidad adicional convenida por los Miembros en
agosto de 2003
y
diciembre de
2005 para permitir la producción, al amparo de licencias
obligatorias, de versiones genéricas de medicamentos patentados para su
exportación a países que no puedan fabricar las medicinas por sí mismos,
de conformidad con el denominado “mecanismo del párrafo 6”.
Similar regional workshops have also been held for African countries in
Mauritius in June 2006, for the Asia Pacific region in Macao in July 2007
and for Latin American and Caribbean countries in 2008. In addition, the
TRIPS public health flexibilities figure prominently in other 澳门六合彩官网资料 national
and regional technical cooperation events.
The workshop featured presentations by 澳门六合彩官网资料 officials, providing an
introduction to the key elements of the TRIPS Agreement and related 澳门六合彩官网资料
instruments, in particular the provisions of direct relevance to public
health, the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, and
the paragraph 6 system.
Representatives of other intergovernmental organizations such as the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Health Organization (WHO),
and UN Development Program (UNDP), reported on their activities. The speaker
from the African Organization for Intellectual Property (OAPI) added a
regional perspective to the debate.
To complete the picture, a number of other speakers were invited to share
their experiences and views. These included representatives of the research
and development (R&D) and generic industries, Médecins sans Frontières
(Doctors without Frontiers), and some 澳门六合彩官网资料 member governments with
implementing legislation in place allowing for exports under the paragraph 6
system. Practical exercises enabled participants to apply the acquired
knowledge to concrete cases.
The participants came from: Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Barbados, Brazil,
Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Ghana, India, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritius, Moldova,
Mongolia, Morocco, Nepal, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Swaziland,
Chinese Taipei, Trinidad and Tobago and Uganda.
