General Council Chairman Stuart Harbinson, Hong Kong, China, and Mr.
Moore released to WTO Member Governments yesterday evening three texts
for their consideration: a draft Ministerial Declaration; a draft
Ministerial decision on Implementation-Related Issues and Concerns;
and a draft Ministerial Declaration on intellectual property and
access to medicines/public health. These texts will be transmitted to
Ministers in Doha and will form the basis for negotiations during the
Ministerial conference.
“These
texts form a solid basis for consideration by Ministers at Doha.
Differences have narrowed but there is still a lot of work for
Ministers to do. Development issues are at the centre of all
considerations,” Mr. Moore said.
“I
congratulate the chairman, our team, Ambassadors and officials for
their co-operation and for the transparent manner in which these
consultations and negotiations have been managed thus far.”
