2 REVIEWS OF NATIONAL IMPLEMENTING LEGISLATION
36. The European Union would also like to thank Fiji for having provided the replies to our questions and for engaging in this process. Like my colleagues from Switzerland and the US, we appreciate the enormous efforts that you have already achieved, also for the transparency with which Fiji acknowledges that more needs to be done, there are a few important aspects that need to be implemented to bring Fiji in line with the TRIPS Agreement. We strongly encourage Fiji to pursue the process with WIPO, which should bring necessary support, and the EU stands ready to support as well, but we do not intend to put any other additional questions in this form. If necessary we could do so bilaterally, and therefore we support the proposal to close the review with regard to Fiji.
