Why is it important?
Required regulatory studies cost a lot of time and money and require adequate protection but not so much that generic products suffer from delayed market entry
Perspectives
I have worked for R&D and generic companies and it is important that the right balance is struck between protecting regulatory studies and allowing access by financial compensation to allow a healthy market of novel and generic plant protection products to flourish.
