113. The representative of Brazil agreed with the delegations of China and Cuba that the adoption of the System was a milestone in the history of the implementation of the TRIPS Agreement. Normative act advancement always faced the challenge of implementation and the System was no exception to this rule. Years after its adoption it had yet to fulfil its ultimate objective. Regarding the annual review, different approaches had been used over the past few years. One of the most positive experiences had been the review that the Council had undertaken in 2010. It had been well prepared, including through the establishment of a list of pre-selected topics and questions. The result had been a very dynamic debate which had engaged most Members, some of them actively facilitating the debate. He supported the suggestion made by the delegation of China that this approach be revisited for future reviews. His delegation also supported the proposal that an open-ended workshop be held by the Council in order to understand the challenges that different countries and international agencies were facing in implementing the System.
