✊ TWN also stands with Thai civil society against the Thailand-EU trade agreement.
The deal could delay generic competition by up to 11 years & add US$23.2 billion to Thailand’s pharmaceutical spending (Thailand's FDA & National Health Commission Office).
Pharma companies already get a 20-year patent monopoly.
In the Thailand-EU FTA, the EU wants more: supplementary protection certificates that extend monopolies, keep prices high, and delay affordable generics.

Healthcare workers have paid the price of pandemic inequity. We cannot repeat the same mistakes.
As negotiations on the WHO’s Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) System continue, equity, access, and accountability must be at its core.

Are developed countries’ positions in the PABS negotiations consistent with their human rights obligations?
Prof. Sharifah Sekalala (@uniofwarwick) warns that voluntary commitments & weak benefit-sharing requirements risk repeating COVID-19 inequities in access. #FairPABS

Can you imagine accessing dangerous pathogen data without having to register? We register for the most mundane things in our daily lives. Why not for accessing pathogens with pandemic potential? Yet user registration is being contested by the EU & Norway in #PABS negotiations. #FairPABS

Pathogen data flows out from developing countries under the pretext of "open science," without equitable benefit sharing and at the expense of lives in the global south.
That is the ‘open science’ being defended by the EU, Norway, Japan & Switzerland in WHO.

Ghosting isn't just a relationship problem.
Affected countries share pathogen data when the world needs it. Demand a #FairPABS
