The representative of the European Communities said that his delegation had proposed to put this point on the agenda because, in its view, the forum of the TRIPS Council had not adequately addressed the scope and modalities of possible non-violation complaints. The Community believed that there were important issues and that the Council should finally undertake that work in a serious way. Therefore, the European Communities hoped that the Council could agree to devote more time to look at this matter, i.e. the scope and modalities of non-violation complaints. The European Communities would table a communication in the near future and looked forward to contributions from other Members of the TRIPS Council in the hope of having a useful discussion at the next meeting.
