摘要:The WTO General Council adopted on December 6th, 2005, the “Decision on the implementation of paragraph 11 of the General Council Decision of 30 August 2003 on the implementation of Paragraph 6 of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health”. This adoption will result in a new protocol, leading to the first ever amendment of the TRIPS agreement. This protocol may offer a permanent solution to the problem of WTO member states which face difficulties in addressing their urgent public health problems because they lack the production capacity for pharmaceutical products to address public health problems.
