5. Statement/summary of statement

536.   In that sense we understand that this agenda item has been proven to be very fruitful and it has engaged a lot of Members the side event and the level of attendance that the organizer had it was very interesting indeed and it is a dynamic issue that help us to apply IP policies on the field in our cases. So, it would be our understanding that there is some appetite for this kind of discussions, regularly, in this Council and we would like to suggest that we can have this agenda item permanently in our agenda, sometimes with a wider scope sometimes with a more discrete approach but the idea of linking IP policy and MSMEs I think that it is very useful for our daily work in this Organization.
