    As a strong supporter of the rules-based multilateral trading system, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) -- which represents thousands of enterprises of all sizes and sectors in 130 countries – believes it is of overriding importance for the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations to be brought to a successful conclusion over the next few months.

    ICC strongly urges WTO members not to include the issue of TRIPS patent disclosure requirements into the discussion on modalities and the negotiations on the Single Undertaking and explains why.
