D; E; F REVIEW OF THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 27.3(B); RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRIPS AGREEMENT AND THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY; PROTECTION OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND FOLKLORE1

87. The representative of Turkey said that his delegation, like others, was concerned about misappropriation of genetic resources, traditional knowledge and folklore. The discussions needed to be focused on eliminating those concerns and be based on real cases. There was need to strike a delicate balance so as not to unreasonably increase the workload of the patent offices.
