EUROPEAN  UNION  
Addendum  
The following communication, dated 16 October  2017, 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 member States ( Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Denmark, Estonia, Fi nland, 
Germany, Ireland , 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.  
 
_______________  
 
 
I. GENERAL REMARKS  
This document is circulated in accord ance 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 e nterprises or institutions for the purpose of promoting and encouraging 
technology transfer to le ast-developed country Members).  
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 m ember States.  
II. SCOPE AND NATURE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED  
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).  
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 depe nd 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.  
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 such as energy, water, agriculture, governance and infrastructure contain transfer of 
know -how and technology.

meeting of 19 October 2017.  IP/C/W/631/Add.7

  In thei r 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.  
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.  
Technology transfer is considered to include training, education and "know -how." Transfe r 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 o f 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). M oreover, access to the right partners, information and expertise are key 
at all stages.  
Finally, it should be borne in mind that  no technology transfer program is specifically dedicated to 
least developed countries as such. EU initiatives are usually speci fic 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. Consequently, 
some countries, which are not LDCs, also ap pear on the list, but under the "Targeted LDC 
Members" point it is clarified which are LDCs and which are not. 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.

of the potential impacts from climate change and variability and in partic ular the options for 
adaptation to these changes. The scope of the Climate Change Adaptation Initiative (CCAI) is 
climate change impact assessment and adaptation planning and implementation of adaptation 
interventions. It is cross -cutting touching on almos t every aspects of water management (flood 
and drought, irrigation, hydropower development, etc.) and includes institutional, planning, 
environmental and socio -economic issues, as well as coping strategies including building resilience 
and enhancing adapti ve capacity. A major result is the adaptation of a regional climate change 
adaption strategy and action plan.

1. Title of project/programme:  Workshop on the Copernicus programme as tool for M&E and 
decision support: review of land -use, land co ver-land cover change indicators (Goma, 26 -
27/09/2017).  
2. Policy objective and/or purpose:  Copernicus is served by a set of dedicated satellites 
(the Sentinel families). The European Union set in motion a process to place a constellation of 
almost 20 more  satellites in orbit before 2030. Copernicus will be operational for the next 
20-30 years.  
Copernicus Services transform satellite and in -situ data into value -added information by 
processing and analysing the data. Datasets stretching back for years and de cades are made 
comparable and searchable, thus ensuring the monitoring of changes; patterns are examined and 
used to create better forecasts. Maps are created from imagery, features and anomalies are 
identified and statistical information is extracted. The se value -adding activities are streamlined 
through six thematic streams of Copernicus services: (1) Atmosphere; (2) Marine; (3) Land; (4) 
Climate; (5) Emergency; (6) Security.  
The information provided by the Copernicus services can be used by end users for  a wide range of 
applications in a variety of areas. These include sustainable development and nature protection, 
regional and local planning, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, etc.2. Copernicus offers analysis 
like: soil erosion, pasture monitoring, so il erosion, water availability (drought monitoring), etc.

2 In 2016, the European Commission completed a large -scale study which examined the overall impact 
of the Copernicus programme on the European economy and its benefits for the Space industry, the 
downstream sector and end -users. The results of this exercise were published in the first Coper nicus Market 
Report. Moreover, several former economic studies had already demonstrated a huge potential for job creation, 
innovation and growth.  IP/C/W/631/Add.7

10. Outcomes/impact:  
Scientific impact  
PEVIA consortium will help to accelerate the preclinic al and clinical development of other Ebola 
vaccine candidates, the development/validation of novel diagnostic tests, and other project 
results into health care interventions. Altogether, PEVIA innovative approach and functional 
analysis tools will expand t he scientific knowledge regarding the immunological correlate of 
protection against Ebola infections, notably by defining the contribution of B and T -cell 
responses, and will increase the readiness to respond to future outbreaks of Ebola and other 
filovira l haemorrhagic fevers. The knowledge accumulated by the consortium may further be 
extended to develop effective vaccines against other virus infections.  
Societal impact  
PEVIA 's innovative Ebola vaccine will offer safe, strong, specific, efficient and long -lasting B and 
T-cell protection against major strains of Ebola virus (pan -Ebola vaccine). Thanks to its 
innovative design allowing overcoming the problems of stability, storage and deployment in 
endemic regions, this 2nd generation of Ebola vaccine will be  fully adapted for large -scale 
vaccination in Sub -Saharan countries for people at high -risk early post -exposure to the virus as 
well as the healthcare workers and volunteers caring for Ebola patients. Hence, it will have 
a significant impact on global heal th, both at the individual and the public health levels.  
European impact  
The PEVIA Consortium brings together competences and facilities, which are not available on 
a national level. The products will be fully manufactured in the EU by European SMEs and 
the innovative tools will be developed by European research institutions. These European 
technologies will be disseminated worldwide for a better management of Ebola infections. 
PEVIA Consortium aims at strengthening European competitiveness and industrial l eadership in 
the field of vaccine research and innovation.  
Economic impact and SME benefit  
The PEVIA Consortium brings together the expertise of three research -focused European SMEs 
(VAXEAL; ExcellGene; OLIGOVAX). PEVIA will create a strong collaboration between SMEs 
applying complementary technologies, as well as a strong link with Universities and Hospitals, 
which will facilitate the initiation and the management of clinical trials. The implementation of 
the technologies for the development of recombinan t and LSP Ebola vaccines will result in 
the creation of several jobs in the EU SMEs involved in product development.

IRELAND  
1. Title of project/programme: Africa Agri -Food Development Programme  
2. Policy objective and/or purpose: The objective of the Africa Agri -Food Development 
Programme (AADP) is to develop partnerships between the Irish Agri -Food Sector and African 
companies to support sustainable growth of the local food industry, build markets for local produce 
and support mutual trade between Ireland and Africa. The partnership involves new and additional 
resources to the Agri -Food sector, including a combination of finance and technical assistance. 
Initiatives are based around the key themes of:  IP/C/W/631/Add.7  
 
- 131 - 
 
   Food Safety  
 Animal Health/Veterina ry 
 Business development  
 Production systems  
 Training/Mentoring  
 Technology transfer  
 R & D  
 Project Management  
3. Government agencies or institutions eligible in the provision of incentives for 
technology transfer in developed member: The AADP combines the expertise and experience 
of the Department of Agriculture Food, and the Marine and the Department of Foreign Affairs and 
Trade/Irish Aid to support initiatives that can directly contribute to the develo pment of agriculture 
in Africa.  
4. Enterprises or othe r institutions eligible for incentives in LDCs (Transferor): Private 
agribusiness involving Irish and African partners.  
5. Targeted LDC Members (Transferee): Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, 
Kenya, Malawi, Mozamb ique, South Africa, and Za mbia.  
6. Type of incentives measures for technology transfer: Grant support for Feasibility Studies 
and job creation; Support for grant recipients to establish in -country private and public sector 
contacts  through Irish Embassy networks  
7. Field or sector of technology transfer activities: Agri-Food/Agri -Business  
8. Type of technology transferred: Dependant on applications for grants.  
9. Expected output related to technology transfer: Dependant on applications for grants.  
10. Outcomes/impact : For African countries to move "beyond aid " they must increase their own 
trade and attract investors. The development of business and agri -trade is a priority for many 
African countries where the majority of the population live in rural areas and are depe ndent on 
farm incomes. Many agricultural interventions have relied on increasing primary production of food 
and cash crops without adequate investment in developing markets, infrastructure and the 
necessary investment climate for business. There is broad c onsensus amongst development 
partners that increased trade will drive food production in developing countries. For investors, 
Africa still poses many difficulties. Many Irish investors perceive Africa as a high risk environment 
due to a combination of limi ted human resources, weak services and fragile governance structures. 
In the Irish context, we recognise the benefits of partnerships between private sector investors, 
development agencies and host governments. The desirable outcome is investment, growth a nd 
trade that is inclusive, profitable and sustainable beyond the normal cycle of development 
assistance programmes. The Irish agri -food sector can play a central role in the development of 
agri-business in Africa by bringing a much needed business perspec tive to the sector, supported 
where possible by investment and mutually beneficial trade. Irish expertise, both public and 
private, in areas such as animal health, food production, veterinary, food safety, agri -food 
business is well established and respect ed internationally. These kinds of expertise represent 
a significant learning resource for the agri -food sector in Developing Countries.  
11. Budget or funds allocated: While provision has been made within DFAT (€120,000) and 
DFAM (€700,000) for the  AADP in  2017 the amount invested will not be known until completion of 
the funding round.  Closing date for applications is the 17th August and it is expected that funding 
decisions and programming will take place in September – October 2017.  
12. Duration: The AA DP was re -launched in July 2017 and it is intended to further review 
the programme in 2019.  
13. Status: Call for applications and information seminar held in July 2017.  Grants to be issued in 
September – October 2017.

2. Policy objective and/or purpose: The aim of the project is to support processes that will 
lead to a significant increase in the producti on of macadamia nuts for the local and world markets. 
The intervention 's goal is  to increase both production volume and quality of this crop. A  tool for 
achieving results will be financial investment in quality macadamia integrifolia seedlings and know 
- how of effective cultivation practice. By implementing these two key components a solid 
foundation for the future development of macadamia nut production is being created. The actual 
impact of the project and its implemented activities will be clearly visi ble after the end of the 
project. The project has an investment character with a clearly foreseeable result, which is 
the fulfilment of the Kenyan potential for a significant increase in the volume of macadamia nut 
production and thus the increase in the l ocal economy. The project will establish three nurseries of 
quality macadamia seedlings and will give access to healthy and quality seedlings to 10,000 
growers. Part of the project is an ambition to train farmers in correct cultivation skills, techniques 
and practices, in accordance with Fair Trade and BIO criteria. The possibility of introducing 
a quality agricultural certified crop on its own farms will be a permanent improvement in 
the income situation for 10 000 growers and their families.  IP/C/W/631/Add.7

- 140 - 
 
  Swedish central government debt of one -year maturity. The goal of Swedfund's investment is 
described as to reduce poverty through sustainable business.  
Swedfund's investments are based on partnerships and collaboration with other companies and 
developments finance institutions. Swedfund aims to invest with partners who have the necessary 
financi al strength and structural capital. It is also important that partners share our focus on 
sustainability and our values.  
Our investments operations rests on three pillars - Impact on Society, Sustainability and Financial 
Viability - and on long term commit ments and sustainability in our partnerships. These pillars 
support everything we do - from making a decision to invest, throughout the entire management 
phase, to regular monitoring of results and finally at an exit from the investment.  
Investments instru ments include loans, equity or investments in funds. The choice of instrument 
depends on the portfolio company's financing needs. Swedfund continues to focus on 
the ownership role through witch we can influence the company's development via the agreement 
in signs as well as through active board participation. Swedfund aims to increase the average level 
of investments to about SEK 60 million per investment.  
Swedfund also has at its disposal certain funds for financing technical assistance, the objective 
being measures to enhance the quality of existing projects.  
3. Beneficiary country/countries: Swedfund invests in three sectors, i.e. renewable energy, 
manufactury and services and financial institutions (including funds), primarily in LDCs , with focus 
primari ly on Sub-Sahara  Africa .  
4. Objective(s) and type(s) of incentive given: Swedfund  
 Swedfund's objective is to contribute to the goals of Sweden's Policy for Global 
Development by co -financing investments in the private sector which encourage 
economically, environmentally and socially sustainable business in developing countries.  
 Swedfund's owner instructions were updat ed at the AGM held in April 2017 . Among other 
things, it was stated that Swedfund shall only invest in renewable energy.  
 Swedfund offers deve lopment  capital in the form of equity and loans to strategic 
partners wishing to establish or expand their operations in target regions.  
 The size of Swedfund's investment ranges between MSEK 10 and 100 and normally 
represents one third of the total investm ent amount. The average investment horizon is 
normally 7-9 years  
Swedpartnership  
 The objective of Swedpartnership is to encourage small and medium sized Swedish 
enterprises to invest in emerging markets.  
 Financial support through loans of up to SEK 200,000 ,000 or 40% of the total estimated 
cost can be obtained to invest in equipment and knowledge transfer when setting up 
businesses in emerging markets.  
 The loans can be amortized upon project completion and approval of the project results.  
5. Eligible enterprises or institutions: Companies investing in developing countries, including 
LDCs, and their partner companies in the host countries.  
6. Type of technology transferred: Various types of technology may be involved 
(e.g. healthcare, cleant ech, chemicals, ICT and agriculture).  
7. Functioning in practice: Swedfund invests in loans or equity in developing countries. Our 
business model integrates value creation and risk management in our three pillars impact on 
society, sustainability and finan cial viability throughout the entire investment process. The overall 
value of an investment is more extensive than just the financial value. We also build value in 
terms of human capital , relationship capital and natural capital. When investing, Swedfund i s 
considering how the investment will contribute to the realization of the 2030 -agenda and 
the indicators developed to measure progress. More information is available from Swedfund 's 
Integrated Report 2016 ( http://www.swedfund.se/en/about -swedfund/ ), which follows the Global 
Reporting Initiative`s (GRI) Sustainability reporting framework and contains information about 
the sectors and regions Swedfund inv ests in, the number of employees at Swedfund 's portfolio 
companies, and descriptions of how these enterprises contribute to development cooperation.  IP/C/W/631/Add.7  
 
- 141 - 
 
  8. Examples of ongoing/implemented projects:  Gender equality makes our investees more 
profitable, more inno vative and more sustainable. Investing in activities to promote gender 
equality pays of during our investment time which is normally in average nine years and 
contributes to the implementation of the 2030 -agenda and in particular SDG 5 on gender equality. 
Swedfund initiated the program Women4Growth which is a talent program which aims at 
encouraging the companies to ensure that they are using the full potential of the female 
workforce. In 2016, the program was conducted in two of Swedfund 's hotel investment s in Kenya 
and Ethiopia.  
Swedfund made an additional investment in IFC Women Entrepreneurs Debt Fund (WEDF) which 
focuses on lending to female entrepreneurs.  
Swedfund has also been part of developing ICCF, a structure which in a cost -efficient and 
innova tive manner mobilizes significant amounts of long -term debt funding for climate change 
projects. The projects to date are primarily focused on electricity generation using renewable 
resources (e.g. wind, solar, hydro). Swedfund has together with other deve lopment finance 
institutions made several commitments to ICCF over the past few years, with an additional MEUR 7 
committed by Swedfund in 2016, bringing Swedfund 's total commitment to ICCF to MEUR 22. In 
addition to financial commitments, swedfund continue d to contribute to the Swedish Government 's 
goal of a fossil free world by i.a. cooperating with the wider European development community 
within the realm of Electri FI, a facility set up to develop early -stage electrification proj ects using 
renewable reso urces.  
In total, Swedfund in 2016 took the decision to invest in 2 funds/facilities, 5 financial institutions 
and one investment s in manufacturing and service.
