Ambassador Eduardo Pérez Motta (Mexico)
Adoption of the Agenda
22. The Chairman said that all outstanding implementation issues had the same status and that the Council could not prejudge what appropriate action the TNC would decide to take in respect of each of them. Some Members wished that the TNC take horizontal action covering all of them, while others preferred to decide in respect of each topic based on its own merits. Taking up outstanding TRIPS implementation issues in the Council at this stage would amount to discriminatory treatment of these issues. This would be a decision to be taken by the TNC, not by the TRIPS Council.
