Knowledge Ecology International Europe's (KEI Europe) comments on the Commission's proposal for a regulation on compulsory licensing addresses the following issues. The regulation should not be limited to an emergency. The exceptions for regulatory data protections and market exclusivity are important. The exceptions can be implemented under Article 44.2 of TRIPS, more efficiently than under Articles 31 or 31bis.
