[Art 4.1(b)]
hlighted that the pharma industry has one main interest in trade 
agreements – a strong IP chapter. Therefore, an EU-US agreement should also have such a 
chapter. Ms Åsenius explained that it is not foreseen to re-start TTIP negotiations and an 
agreement of more restricted scope would have more chances of being agreed.
