Ambassador Dacio Castillo (Honduras)
L COPYRIGHT LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS: ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS AT WIPO - BRIEFING BY BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES
214. The representative of Australia thanked the delegations of Brazil and the United States for placing an item concerning copyright limitations and exceptions on the agenda for the information of Members. His delegation continued to support an outcome on copyright limitations and exceptions for the visually impaired capable of gaining widespread support across regional groups in WIPO. In addition, he pointed out that Australian copyright law already provided for exceptions and statutory licences to allow the making of accessible formats for the print disabled. An international instrument was desirable to regulate the cross-border transfer of accessible formats. Any instrument needed to balance the legitimate interest of publishers and authors as well as persons with print disabilities. His delegation would continue to actively engage on this issue.
