Access to chemicals can only occur if registration is the same way for new as is for generics. Doing it any other way, by bypassing steps of registration, or assuming free access to data is not the way to do it.

Be it a corporation or a single person, the rules and commerce of registration must be science based and follow existing rules of ownership of products and data and compensation for either must be observed.

Generics - which is why they are generics - no longer have protections of a patent so the rules of data ownership apply. Something OUI never took into account.

a judge or any one with a calculator,should be able to calculate compensation for regestration and data set costs,
add the 2 and divide by the number of units, grams , liters etc. sold by the licience holder and thier affiliates since the patent was granted.

thats the fee. and anyone from anywhere that pays the fee can sell the product.


anything less than this access is simply a non tarrif trade barrier that gifts 100s of millions to the chem co.s at farmers expense.

while the ag minister dismantles the CWB in the name of market freedom.
at the same time the govt. lets the chem companies write the rules to keep out any real competition.
allowing them to maintain supply management on off patent products.

can you imangine this happening with any other product that was patented.
