Experience from the past showed that very few non-violation complaints had been reported. In his delegation's view, this was proof of the complexity of its definition and concept, especially with regard to its scope and modalities. Moreover, under the present circumstances, where there was very limited experience, the unconditional introduction of the non-violation remedy would only cause uncertainty in the area of intellectual property. Therefore, his delegation believed that the transitional period should be extended or, preferably, the remedy should be excluded from application in the area of intellectual property.
