Mr. Martin Glass (Hong Kong, China)
C; D; E 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 FOLKLORE
14. The Chairman suggested that the Council continue its past practice of addressing the three agenda items together on the basis of the contributions by Members. 15. He recalled that, at the Council's meeting in October 2010, India had suggested that the Council invite the CBD Secretariat to brief the Council on the outcome of the tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) held in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010. In the context of his consultations with a number of delegations on the pending requests for observer status by intergovernmental organizations, Members had not reached agreement on that suggestion. However, in the course of those discussions, Japan had expressed its willingness to make a presentation, in its capacity as the host country of COP10, on the outcome of the meeting. He suggested that the Council offer the floor to Japan to make the presentation before opening the floor for discussion. He also informed the Council that Bolivia wished to introduce a room document on the review of Article 27.3(b) of the TRIPS Agreement.2
