9 FOLLOW-UP TO THE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL REVIEW UNDER PARAGRAPH 2 OF THE DECISION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 66.2 OF THE TRIPS AGREEMENT

5. Déclaration/résumé de la déclaration

191. Technology transfer is one of the expected benefits of the protection of IP and is contained in Article 7 of TRIPS, as well as in its Preamble. Recognizing the necessity of special and differential treatment of LDCs, Article 66.2 contains an obligation for developed countries to provide incentives to enterprises and institutions in their territory for promoting and encouraging tech transfer to LDCs. My colleague from Benin has just illustrated that these concrete examples are what is intended with this Article. 192. While our capital is currently analysing the proposal of the LDC Group contained in document IP/C/W/640, we view it as a good basis for advancing the discussions regarding the implementation of this important Article. We already heard today delegations from developed countries and LDCs providing their views on the matter. We hope we can continue with this fruitful exercise in future sessions of the Council. As our colleague from Benin has just stated, "nous pouvons toujours faire mieux".
