The Deputy Director General (Mr. Mario Matus) opened the Nineteenth Session of the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property (CDIP). He turned to agenda item 2 and invited delegations to propose nominations for the Chair and Vice-Chairs. AGENDA ITEM 2: ELECTION OF OFFICERS 7. The Delegation of Senegal, speaking on behalf of the African Group, proposed His Excellency Ambassador Walid Doudech of Tunisia as Chair. 8. The Delegation of Georgia, speaking on behalf of the Central European and Baltic States (CEBS) proposed Mr. Igor Moldovan as a Vice-Chair. 9. The Delegation of Colombia, speaking on behalf of GRULAC, supported the proposals. 10. Ambassador Walid Doudech of Tunisia was elected as Chair and Mr. Igor Moldovan as a Vice-Chair, given that there were no objections from the floor. 11. The Chair welcomed delegations to the session. He hoped that every effort would be made to achieve consensus in the work of the CDIP. He noted that intellectual property (IP) was rapidly developing in different social, economic and cultural areas. The Director General's Report on Implementation of the Development Agenda (DA) linked WIPO’s work to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Chair looked forward to working with delegations to resolve all issues through negotiations. He believed this would help to strengthen international cooperation in the area of IP and support development. The work program for the session was made available to delegations. It could be reviewed during the session. The Chair’s summary would also be prepared in the course of the session. 12. The Deputy Director General (Mr. Matus) recalled that the first Roundtable on Technical Assistance and Capacity Building was held on May 12. A factual report would be presented to the Committee at the next session. The agenda for this session included the Report on the Recommendations of the Independent Review of the Implementation of the DA Recommendations, the Director General's Report on Implementation of the DA, the WIPO General Assembly (GA) Decision on CDIP Related Matters, the Evaluation Report of the Project on IP and Design Management for Business Development in Developing and Least Developed Countries (LDCs), the implementation of the Spanish proposal on WIPO’s technical assistance in the area of cooperation for development, discussions on the possible Improvements of WIPO Technical Assistance Webpage, the Proposal of the African Group Concerning the Biennial Organization of an International Conference on Intellectual Property and Development and the CDIP/19/12 page 3 Progress Report on New WIPO Activities Related to Using Copyright to Promote Access to Information and Creative Content. He expected discussions during the session would be fruitful. AGENDA ITEM 3: ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA 13. The Chair invited the Committee to consider the draft Agenda (document CDIP/19/1 Prov. 2) for the session. 14. The Delegation of Brazil proposed a specific agenda item to discuss the Report on WIPO’s Contribution to the Implementation of SDGs. It understood that agenda items 6 (Monitor, assess, discuss, report on the implementation of all DA Recommendations and consideration of the Director General’s Report on the Implementation of the DA) and 7 (Consideration of work program for implementation of adopted recommendations) did not refer to the implementation of SDGs. The inclusion of a specific item would enable focused discussions to be held on the subject. It would also assist in enhancing transparency on the discussions. 15. The Delegation of Indonesia supported the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 16. The Delegation of the United States of America was not in a position to support the inclusion of a standing agenda item on SDGs at this time. It was agreed in the last session that during the first session of the year, “the Secretariat will present an annual report to the Committee, containing information on WIPO's contribution to the implementation of SDGs and its associated targets”. This was stated in the Chair’s summary. Thus, in the first session of the year, the Committee would be discussing SDGs and WIPO's role in implementing them. Therefore, it was not necessary to include a standing agenda item on this topic. 17. The Delegation of Japan, speaking on behalf of Group B, stated that it was not in a position to support the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 18. The Delegation of the Islamic Republic of Iran supported the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 19. The Delegation of Nigeria supported the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 20. The Delegation of Georgia, speaking on behalf of CEBS, associated itself with the statements made by the Delegation of the United States of America and Group B. It was not in a position to support the inclusion of the proposed agenda item. 21. The Delegation of China supported the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 22. The Delegation of South Africa supported the proposal by The Delegation of Brazil. 23. The Delegation of Brazil clarified that it was not requesting for a standing agenda item as mentioned by the Delegation of the United States of America. It was only requesting for an agenda item to be added to discuss the report. 24. The Delegation of the United States of America sought additional clarifications from the Delegation of Brazil as agenda item 7 included two documents (documents CDIP/19/6 and CDIP/18/4) concerning the SDGs. According to the work program for this session, they would be discussed separately on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. CDIP/19/12 page 4 25. The Delegation of Malaysia supported the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil and urged other delegations to do so. 26. The Delegation of Latvia supported the interventions by CEBS, Group B and the Delegation of the United States of America. As highlighted by the Delegation of the United States of America, the agenda already included two points under agenda item 7 to discuss the SDGs. The Delegation did not support the proposal as it did not see the need for an additional agenda item. 27. The Delegation of Japan, speaking on behalf of Group B, referred to paragraph 7 of the Chair’s summary for CDIP 18 which included the following, “The Committee will continue its discussion on the way to address this subject in its future sessions”. Thus, the Group sought clarification on the relationship between the agreed summary and the proposal by the Delegation of Brazil. 28. The Delegation of

The GCC states, currently Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar, all have varied mechanisms in place for both the implementation and enforcement of intellectual property rights. The thesis pays close attention to the evolution of intellectual property laws and regulations in the GCC states with particular interest directed towards the development of national intellectual property laws within the GCC states from the 1970’s onwards1.

The book discusses: • how WIPO works, its antecedents and history • the debates about the role and justification of intellectual property • the role of WIPO within contemporary global politics • the key elements of its relations with the World Trade Organization • the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. The analysis then examines the recent political economy of the organization and argues that far from being the neutral or technical agency that it often presents itself as, the WIPO is highly politicized and acts to socialize policy makers and civil servants into a specific view of intellectual property. However, the recent proposal to establish a Development Agenda at the WIPO is an important development, and the book concludes by examining the problems which have promoted this agenda and suggesting that these reforms of the WIPO should be welcomed. The World Intellectual Property Organization is a clear and accessible volume that will confirm the WIPO as one of the global institutions which any student of global governance must understand.
