OBSERVATIONS ON DOCUMENT A/48/3
DELEGATION OF EQUATORIAL GUINEA
The Delegation of Equatorial Guinea considers document A/48/3 to be valid and welcomes it given that it covers some points of vital importance, including:
1. WIPO’s commitment in the field of technology.
2. Commitment in the economic and legal field.
3. This document also highlights the importance of cooperation between WIPO and Member
States.
It is important to note, therefore, that the initiative presented in this document is in fact the embodiment of the proposal approved by the Member States in 2006, which legitimizes this initiative.
Recommendations
Equatorial Guinea underlines the need for the unanimous adoption of this Plan and stresses the importance of the action plan prepared and presented by the WIPO Secretariat. We would therefore like to see the implementation of this Strategic Plan, which has been presented to us, become a reality.
Lastly, we urge WIPO to continue to work towards its healthy goals set out in this strategic document, in which we place our trust.
Thank you very much.

Written comments from Sweden concerning the WIPO Medium Term Strategic Plan as presented in document A/48/3.
The Swedish delegation thanks the Director General for his initiative regarding WIPO’s Medium Term Strategic Plan (MTSP). This plan provides WIPO with a robust framework empowering the secretariat by giving strategic direction in accordance with the already agreed strategic goals for the years ahead of us. It will also be an important and helpful guidance in the preparation of the programme and budget for the 2012-2103 and 2014-2015 biennia.

The MTSP is also an important tool in the implementation of a results oriented management. We welcome the identification of fixed indicators for each strategic objective, which will be a valuable help for the organisation and its member states (MS) to follow and evaluate progress in the realization of these objectives.
The strategic objectives, as expressed in the MTSP, emphasise the original mission of WIPO to be the world intellectual property organisation and it is important that the future activities of the organisation aim to fulfil this mission.
The MTSP expresses the flexibility necessary to allow the plan, the actions and the different initiatives to be adjusted in the ever changing, evolving economic, social and cultural environment of the world today, an environment strongly affecting the global IP system and the activities of WIPO.
We would like to compliment the secretariat for the extensive, transparent and dynamic consultation process with the member states during the development of the MTSP. We are aware that many different views have been expressed during the process and that the document is a result of the consultation. This of course means that not all views can be entirely reflected in the plan, including some of ours, but we would nevertheless want to express our full support for the plan as such and the vision it embodies.
