Informal talks continue at the World Trade Organisation on whether to waive patents

Informal talks continue at the World Trade Organisation on whether to waive Covid-19 vaccine patents, as developing countries call for more equity in the vaccines' distribution. Dr. Ingrid Katz of the Harvard Global Health Institute explains why waiving patents could help save more lives in the developing world, and also aid the global economy. But Arthur Appleton professor of International Law and partner with trade law firm Appleton Luff, says we should expect significant legal challenges to such a liberalisation. Also in the programme, the European Commission vice-president Margaritis Schinas will outline a new vision for the EU's Schengen area. Koert Debeuf of the EU Observer sets out the challenges the area will face in the future. And we'll conclude this edition with a view from economist Michael Hughes about the recovery on stock markets around the world, and Jeff Collins, chief economist of business services platform Coupa talks about the recovery they are seeing in their e-commerce data.
