Die kant op

Volgens dit ronkende persbericht weet de WIPO weer hoe het verder moet. Dat de bezielende leiding van roerganger Dr. Kamil Idris hierbij een zeer belangrijke rol speelde spreekt voor zich: "The Assemblies of the member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) concluded on Wednesday, October 5, 2005, following a review of activities over the past year and agreement on the agenda of the Organization for the next year.

Ambassador Manalo thanked delegations for their active participation in the work of the General Assembly and welcomed the spirit of cooperation that characterized the talks, which had "produced a rich harvest." He said "To me, perhaps the most significant achievement of this year’s General Assembly has been its resolve to preserve WIPO’s tradition of decision-making by consensus." Ambassador Manalo thanked the Director General, Dr. Kamil Idris, for ensuring the Assemblies were a success.

At the end of the meeting, Dr. Idris said that he was very pleased with the outcome of the Assemblies which had taken place in a positive and constructive atmosphere. He welcomed the spirit of consensus that had led to important decisions on the future work program of the Organization. Dr. Idris said that he looked forward to working closely with member states in implementing the decisions that have been taken by the Assemblies. Lees volledige persbericht hier.
