Re: [Fsf-friends] Yet another shameless day in India

the thing is what do we do now???

We should all press for the proposed TRIPS review (It should have been in 2000 -- in 1995 when the TRIPS agreement was propsed they suggested a review of it after 5 years but not yet done).

Our minister says the bill is passed because of the committment and now we should ask the favour (our right) back and press strongly for the TRIPS review in the next WTO ministerial meeting with Brazil and China.

PS: Last time in Doha Muraisoli Maran did a great job with Brazil and China in making WTO accept the TRIPS flexibilities -- like compulsory licensing. But with Kamal Nath in the post -- I'm sceptical (sighs...)
