The former GAC Chair highlighted that the primary focus of the dialogue was to uphold the public interest. While acknowledging that the framework falls short of satisfying the expectations of all stakeholders, it does provide a feasible consensus that allows for ongoing discussions. She also expressed gratitude for the constructive support received from the Board and staff, recognizing their crucial role in reaching this consensus. Acknowledging the challenges stemming from previous rounds and the prevailing skepticism, GAC recognized that the current exercise was far from effortless. Participants were well aware of the imminent hurdles that lay ahead. In particular, discussions on certain examples highlighted the necessity of reaching a consensus on the issue of closed generics. With an eye toward advancing the document's content, GAC actively encouraged constructive input from stakeholders, signaling a collective commitment to further develop the draft document.
