The WHO PABS System shall have the following components:<br \/>\n(a) WHO PABS Materials sharing:<br \/>\n(i) Each Party, through its relevant public health authorities and authorized laboratories,<br \/>\nshall, in a rapid, systematic and timely manner: (1) provide WHO PABS Material to a<br \/>\nlaboratory recognized or designated as part of an established WHO coordinated laboratory<br \/>\nnetwork; and (2) upload the genetic sequence of such WHO PABS Material to one or more<br \/>\npublicly accessible database(s) of its choice, provided that the database has put in place an<br \/>\nappropriate arrangement in respect of WHO PABS Materials.<br \/>\n(ii) The WHO PABS System shall be consistent with international legal frameworks,<br \/>\nnotably those for the collection of patient specimens, material and data, and will promote<br \/>\nfindable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data available to all Parties.<br \/>\n(iii) The Parties shall develop and use a Standard Material Transfer Agreement (a PABS<br \/>\nSMTA), which may be concluded through electronic means, and which shall include<br \/>\nrelevant biosafety and biosecurity rules, to be used with the transfer of WHO PABS<br \/>\nMaterials from a laboratory recognized or designated as part of an established WHO<br \/>\ncoordinated laboratory network to any Recipient.<br \/>\n(iv) Recipients of WHO PABS Material shall not seek to obtain any intellectual rights<br \/>\non WHO PABS Material.<br \/>\n(b) PABS multilateral benefit sharing:<br \/>\n(i) Benefits, both monetary and non-monetary, arising from access to WHO PABS<br \/>\nMaterials, shall be shared fairly and equitably, pursuant to a PABS SMTA, which may be<br \/>\nconcluded through electronic means.<br \/>\n(ii) The PABS SMTAs shall include, but not be limited to, the following monetary and<br \/>\nnon-monetary benefit-sharing obligations:<br \/>\n(a) in the event of a pandemic, real-time access by WHO to a minimum of 20%<br \/>\n(10% as a donation and 10% at affordable prices to WHO) of the production of safe,<br \/>\nefficacious and effective pandemic-related products for distribution based on public<br \/>\nhealth risks and needs, with the understanding that each Party that has manufacturing<br \/>\nfacilities that produce pandemic-related products in its jurisdiction shall take all<br \/>\nnecessary steps to facilitate the export of such pandemic-related products, in<br \/>\naccordance with timetables to be agreed between WHO and manufacturers; and<br \/>\n(b) on an annual basis, contributions from Recipients, based on their nature and<br \/>\ncapacity, to the capacity development fund of the sustainable funding mechanism<br \/>\nestablished in Article 20 herein.<br \/>\nA\/INB\/7\/3<br \/>\n18<br \/>\n(c) The Parties shall also consider additional benefit-sharing options, including:<br \/>\n(i) encouraging manufacturers from developed countries to collaborate with<br \/>\nmanufacturers from developing countries through WHO initiatives to transfer technology<br \/>\nand know-how and strengthen capacities for the timely scale-up of production of pandemic-<br \/>\nrelated products;<br \/>\n(ii) tiered-pricing or other cost-related arrangements, such as no loss\/no profit loss<br \/>\narrangements, for purchase of pandemic-related products, that consider the income level of<br \/>\ncountries; and<br \/>\n(iii) encouraging of laboratories in the WHO coordinated laboratory network to actively<br \/>\nseek the participation of scientists from developing countries in scientific projects<br \/>\nassociated with research on WHO PABS Materials.<br \/>\n5. In the event that pandemic-related products are produced by a manufacturer that does not have a<br \/>\nPABS SMTA under the WHO PABS System, it shall be understood that the production of<br \/>\npandemic-related products requiring the use of WHO PABS Materials, implies the use of the WHO<br \/>\nPABS System. Accordingly, each Party, in respect of such a manufacturer operating within its<br \/>\njurisdiction, shall take all appropriate steps, in accordance with its relevant laws and circumstances, to<br \/>\nrequire such a manufacturer to provide benefits in accordance with paragraph 4(b)(ii) of this Article.<br \/>\n6.
