Africa s position on food safety and pharmaceutical patents

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), 60 percent of African countries currently import food products. Since most African countries do not have an effective food safety regulatory system, the safety of imported food is not guaranteed. Diseases caused by food and water kill about 700,000 Africans every year, an average of about 2,000 Africans every day.

The amended text of the Bangui Agreement and Annexes 1 to 8, adopted by the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) on February 28, 2002, maintain the term of protection of patent rights for a period of 20 years, during which the exploitation of patent rights in product inventions is to be made public. With regard to medicines, in order to facilitate regular review by Member States, it is stipulated that the ultimate exploitation of pharmaceutical patent rights shall be made public; It also stipulates that the use of patent rights in products must be with the consent of the patent holder, except in the following cases: Article 56 of Annex No. 1 provides that, under the involuntary licensing system, the relevant minister of a member state shall have the right to issue a decree to exploit a patent when it is essential to the economy, public health or national defense of a country, and the failure to use the patent would seriously affect the satisfaction of the needs of the people. For this reason, for reasons of public health, when a Member State deems it necessary to improve the import channels of a drug, the Minister concerned may, by decree, designate an administrative authority or an agency to produce, import and sell the registered patented product on the basis of the principle of involuntary licensing.
