In closing I would like to show a list of countries that have formally stated an interest in the Accelerating Access Initiative up to now.

Countries in white are those for which country missions are either ongoing or planned before the end of November.

The countries in yellow are those that have expressed interested in participating in the initiative. Some such as Cote d’ Ivoire and Rwanda are preparing plans for consideration.

There are other countries, that actively work on Drug Access, but that have so far not stated their interest in Accelerating Access Initiative in writing. Those countries have not been included on this list. Examples include Barbados, Burkina Faso, Venezuela and Thailand.

Countries that stated an interest in the nevirapine donation programme by Boeringher Ingelheim only are likewise not on this list.

Mister Chairman, Honourable Ministers, Ladies and Gentlemen, with this I would like to end my presentation. I would like to thank you for your attention.
