E-DRUG: TACD calls on EU and US to tackle IP aspects of pandemics
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear All,

As the World Health Assembly is gathering for five days in Geneva this week,
TACD has issued a resolution
http://www.tacd.org/index2.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_view&gid=211&Itemid=40

calling on the EU and the US government to work with the WHO to create
policies that realistically address concerns over the management of
intellectual property and the supply of and access to generic medicines and
vaccines, notably in the context of pandemics.

Read the full resolution on TACD's website <http://www.tacd.org/&gt; and on the
tacd-ip blog:
