nullify the substantive benefits that should flow from the Agreement.

countries, but developing countries will have a longer period to phase
them in.

Punta del Este Declaration.

Promotion of effective and adequate protection of intellectual property
rights

producers and users of technological knowledge and in a manner
conducive to social and economic welfare, and to a balance of rights
and obligations.
