C TRANSITIONAL REVIEW UNDER SECTION 18 OF THE PROTOCOL OF THE ACCESSION OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
98. The representative of the European Communities said that, although his delegation was grateful for China's detailed answers, he had not received answers to its questions 8, 9 and 10 relating to the third patent law revision in document IP/C/W/503. He disagreed with China's comment that the situation regarding the struggle against counterfeiting in the Silk Market in Beijing was improving. On the contrary, he himself had had occasion to witness the rampant and widespread counterfeiting there in person. This was unfortunate, as the European Communities had tried to improve the situation in cooperation with Chinese authorities for several years. The Shanghai situation, by contrast, seemed to be much better and therefore whatever was working in Shanghai should also be applied in Beijing. He expressed the hope of his delegation for China to intensify its efforts in struggling against counterfeiting, which was a priority for the European Communities.
