NEW YORK, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The United States Council for International Business (USCIB) welcomes outcomes from the WTO 13th Ministerial Conference in Abu Dhabi on two key objectives for U.S. industry: a two-year extension of the moratorium on customs duties on electronic transmissions and a rejection of efforts to waive intellectual property protections for COVID-19 diagnostics and therapeutics.

Key Points: 
  • "USCIB is similarly pleased that the WTO failed to extend a TRIPS waiver to diagnostics and therapeutics, a move that would have undermined innovative industries, global health security and international rule of law."
  • USCIB joined the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), for which it serves as the U.S. national committee, in welcoming the move.
  • "USCIB looks forward to working with the WTO to deliver outcomes in these sectors favorable to U.S. industry," said Baird.
  • "As the cornerstone for open, fair and reliable global trade, the WTO is too important to industry to fail."

Todays decision at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (MC12) to endorse a TRIPS waiver for COVID-19 vaccines sends the wrong message to those carrying out research and development and innovating.

Key Points: 
  • Todays decision at the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference (MC12) to endorse a TRIPS waiver for COVID-19 vaccines sends the wrong message to those carrying out research and development and innovating.

  • IP has supported the fastest development and scale-up of safe and effective vaccines in history, with 13.9 billion COVID-19 vaccines produced to date.
  • Todays decision sends a dangerous signal not only to the pharmaceutical industry but to all innovative sectors.
