This TWN report is on the measures required by countries lacking drug manufacturing capacity and wishing to import generic drugs and measures required by countries able and willing to export generic drugs and wishing to overcome the constraints imposed by TRIPS Article 31(f) that production under compulsory licence has to be supplied predominantly for the domestic market. It is based on the Decision of 30 August 2003 adopted by the WTO General Council.
