Jakarta, (ANTARA News) – Indonesia hopes negotiations on material transfer agreement for birdflu virus specimen could be finished in the inter-governmental meeting of WHO members in November, health minister Siti Fadillah Supari said on Thursday.

After speaking about her book “Time for the World to Change” at Paramadina University here, the minister said Indonesia hoped the agreement could be made simple but able to accommodate the interests of the developing countries.

“We wish our property right to the virus would receive recognition and we had access to information on where the virus had been taken to and how it had been handled,” she said.

She said the agreement must also cover deals on benefit sharing both financially or otherwise that come from the result of researches on specimen sent by affected countries.

“In the case of non-financial benefits such as technology transfer and access distribution agreement has been reached but in terms of financial benefits such as profit sharing negotiations are still continuing,” she said, adding hopefully they could be settled in November.

Talks on mechanism of avian flu virus sharing was started early in 2007 after the Indonesian government protested the unfair mechanism of virus sharing and exchange of the Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN).

Since then rounds of meeting had been held by members of the World Health Organization affected by the H5N1 virus aimed at formulating the framework of a fair, transparent and equal virus sharing mechanism.

The result of the meetings were then discussed in the 60th World Health Assembly in May 2007 and agreed upon as a WHO Resolution 60.28 which would be discussed in the Inter-Governmental Meeting and Intergovernmental Working Group.

The WHO executive board met in January this year to discuss again the framework for following up the resolution and produced decisions among other things on the implementation of methods for tracking avian flu virus that had been sent to the GISN under the sharing mechanism.

The sharing mechanism was discussed again at the 61st World Health Assemby in Switzerland on May 19-24 this year. However no final decision could be made in the meeting.(*)
