311.   The Government of Zimbabwe reiterates its previous information provided on this agenda item. We support and appreciate the proposal (document IP/C/W/664) presented by the Delegation of Chad on behalf of the least developed countries (LDCs) Group. 312.   We believe that this proposal is in line with the 2001 Doha Ministerial Decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns. Members agreed that the TRIPS Council would put in place a mechanism for ensuring the monitoring and full implementation of the obligations. 313.   There is need for specificity in the reports submitted in terms of TRIPS Article 66.2 with clear terms of reference and measurable outcomes. The current unsystematic approach in the compilation of the reports makes it very difficult for the Council to monitor compliance with this Article. 314.   We call upon Members of the Council to recall that technology transfer is an essential element of Articles 7, 8, and 66.1 of the TRIPS Agreement. Support for this proposal would go a long way in fulfilling our obligations.
