India against inclusion of data exclusivity in any FTA
New Delhi, Mar 29 (PTI) India today said it was against inclusion of 'data exclusivity' provision in any of its free trade agreements as it would hurt interests of the domestic pharmaceuticals industry, dominated by generics.
Commerce and Industry Anand Shrma said that data protection must be respected as data exclusivity is beyond the provisions of Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement under WTO.
