E-drug: MSF Documents on FTAA and TRIPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Please repair wrapped url's. HH]
In the midst of the paragraph 6 negotiations last week, MSF released
documents outlining our concerns and recommendations regarding
the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health and the FTAA. On August
28, we launched a public campaign, including a petition drive, that
calls for the removal of intellectual property provisions from the FTAA.
Please see the links below. For hard copies of these reports, please
