Korea, Republic of
I DECISION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PARAGRAPH 6 OF THE DOHA DECLARATION ON THE TRIPS AGREEMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH
110. The representative of Korea said that the African Group paper provided a very useful starting point for substantive work on this issue. His delegation would carefully consider the submission and come back with more substantive comments at a later stage. Reiterating the position of his delegation on this issue, he said that the amendment process should be a technical exercise that did not reopen the substantive or the legal issues of the package that was reached on 30 August 2003. He said that his delegation supported the suggestion to hold informal consultations and hoped that the amendment exercise would be completed by March 2005.
