Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00 - 00:03
WTO member countries need to stand up now.

00:03 - 00:05
The leaked text is not the waiver we've been waiting for

00:05
LOCATION IDENT:
World Trade Organization - Geneva

00:05 - 00:09
and there are key reasons why we should reject the proposal

00:09 - 00:11
that has been put forward.

00:11 - 00:14
It does not cover all life-saving medical tools.

00:14 - 00:18
So, it addresses intellectual property barriers for vaccines

00:018 - 00:22
and does not cover for therapeutics and life-saving diagnostics.

00:22 - 00:24
How can you have a solution for a pandemic,

00:24 - 00:28
if you don't cover treatments and you don't cover access

00:28 - 00:30
to the diagnostics that people need.

00:30 - 00:35
The leaked text does not cover all forms of intellectual property barriers.

00:35 - 00:39
Now, in vaccines - it's not enough to overcome patent barriers.

00:39 - 00:44
We also need access to the know-how.
We need access to data.

00:44 - 00:50
Without addressing IP barriers, such as trade secrets or data exclusivity,

00:50 - 00:54
we are not going to make progress on vaccine manufacture.

00:54 - 00:56
The leaked text does not deliver what we need.

00:56 - 00:59
So countries should be cautious about accepting

00:59 - 01:01
the text that's been put on the table.

01:01 - 01:05
We cannot afford to spend years fighting for access to

01:05 - 01:11
life-saving vaccines and drugs for people and public health.
