REPORT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE 66.2
OF THE TRIPS AGREEMENT
EUROPEAN UNION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 13 December 2018, was received from the delegation of
the European Union.1 It reports on activities pursuant to paragraph 1 of the Decision on
the Implementation of Article 66.2 of the TRIPS Agreement (IP/C/28) by the European Union, as
well as certain of its Members (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Ireland, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom). This document constitutes a new detailed report
with information on the implementation of Article 66.2 of the TRIPS Agreement.

_______________

1 GENERAL REMARKS
1.1. This document is circulated in accordance with the Decision of the Council for TRIPS of
19 February 2003, according to which developed country Members shall submit annually reports on
actions taken or planned in pursuance of their commitments under Article 66.2 (incentives provided
to their enterprises or institutions for the purpose of promoting and encouraging technology transfer
to least developed country Members).
1.2. As agreed in the Council for TRIPS, this document is a detailed report on technology transfer
incentives put in place by the EU and its Members.
2 SCOPE AND NATURE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED
2.1. Technology transfer refers here to the ways and means through which companies, individuals
and organizations acquire technology or know-how from third parties, whether such technology is
IPR-protected or not (i.e. including confidential know-how).
2.2. There are several types of technologies as well as several channels of transmission. Indeed,
the acquisition by least developed countries (LDCs) of a sound and viable technological base does
not depend solely on the provision of physical objects or equipment, but also on the acquisition of
know-how, on management and production skills, on improved access to knowledge sources as well
as on adaptation to local economic, social and cultural conditions.
2.3. It is clear that the private – and particularly the commercial – sector is nowadays the main
source of technologies and, in this context; technology transfer is often one component of a more
complex project, rather than a stand-alone activity. Indeed, there are technology transfer aspects
in many projects that go under the label of 'technical assistance'. Most projects that deal with sectors

meeting of 8-9 November 2018.
IP/C/W/646/Add.7

- 2 -

such as energy, water, agriculture, governance and infrastructure contain transfer of know-how and
technology.
2.4. In their efforts to encourage and promote technology transfer, developed country governments
are usually limited by two factors: 1) they do not own the vast majority of such technologies; 2) they
cannot force the private sector to transfer its technologies.
2.5. Incentives can therefore only take the form of encouragement, promotion and facilitation of
projects which are part of a global and comprehensive approach to development.
2.6. Technology transfer is considered to include training, education and "know-how." Transfer of
know-how is therefore also contained in projects that deal with education. In addition to formal
TT channels such as the transfer or licensing of IP rights and/or know-how, there are several -
equally important - informal TT channels such the hiring of new university graduates, exchanges of
qualified staff, joint research projects; or specific projects related to foreign direct investment (quite
often, technology transfer is one component of more complex projects, rather than a stand-alone
activity). Moreover, access to the right partners, information and expertise are key at all stages.
2.7. Finally, it should be borne in mind that no technology transfer programmeis specifically
dedicated to least developed countries as such. EU initiatives are usually specific to countries/groups
of countries/regions, since the EU strongly supports regional integration, which fosters better
understanding and political and economic links between neighbouring countries. However, the EU's
approach to the allocation of aid and incentives pays particular attention to the situation of the
least developed and other low-income countries.
