339. The representative of Nigeria, speaking on behalf of the African Group, expressed his appreciation of the reports on the implementation of Article 67 of the TRIPS Agreement. As regards the needs identified by Sierra Leone, Uganda, Rwanda, Senegal and other LDCs, he noted that there had been some movement in some of the areas with regard to the requests but not in others. To that end, he suggested that, if acceptable to it, the Secretariat would prepare a note at least trying to indicate the areas that had been implemented in those countries that had submitted their needs assessment, as well as the outstanding areas. That would give the Council a general picture of what was happening and would help Members to see how to implement Article 67.
