ad hoc assistance in the IPR field to support legislative alignment and 
institution-building in the context of the EU accession process and the

Alignment-targeted IPR e fforts also substantiate through a specific IPR 
Dialogue which takes place on an annual basis. The 5th meeting of such 
a dialogue took place in March 2015. Specifically for the period 
July 2014-June 2015, no major IPR-related projects were funded, except for 
an ongoing customs enforcement project specifically targeting the area of IPR 
to strengthen customs implementation , seizures and enforcement efforts 
against counterfeit and pirated goods. Th is project is ongoing since 2014 and 
still under implementation. Other "soft" actions concern an ongoing dialogue

- 29 - TECHNICAL COOPERATION ACTIVITIES IN THE FIEL D OF PLANT BREEDERS' RIGHT (ARTICLE 27.3B) 
The document concerns the assistance and technical cooperation ac tivities carried out by the European Union and the Community P lant Variety Office (CPVO), 
as well as individual member States for the benefit of candidate countries, developing countries, regional intellectual propert y organizations, and others.2 
 With regard to transfer of technology, plant variety protection provides the basis for the transf er of technology (i.e. the var ieties) in agriculture. 
Ownership of Plant Breeders' Rights (PBR) could be shared in di fferent ways according to the funding by the different parties o f the breeding activity. PBR sets 
up the legal framework enhancing the relationship between resear chers, PBR holders, licensees and users and facilitates dissemi nation of varieties to farmers. 
 The breeders' exemption provides also a mechanism to facilitate access to germplasm. The breeder's exemption under the UPOV Con vention allows the breeder 
of a variety to enjoy the right of his variety whilst allowing other breeders to use the material of the protected variety for further breeding. Companies or 
individual breeders can use the protected varieties of other br eeders freely and incorporate them into their breeding programme s. If the resulting new variety is 
distinct, they can also exploit it freely.
