Bolivia, Plurinational State of
6 NON-VIOLATION AND SITUATION COMPLAINTS
6.11. The representative of the Plurinational State of Bolivia said that non-violation and situation complaints were not applicable within the framework of the TRIPS Agreement, which differed clearly from other WTO agreements. Members had agreed on concessions which could be measured on economic basis, but as far as the TRIPS Agreement was concerned, Members had agreed on a minimum level of protection. Therefore, non-violation complaints could not be applied to IP.
