> The general conclusion by the cross disciplinary working group behind  
> the
> report is that it is no longer tenable just to keep filling up the old
> system without producing a more solid foundation for decisions. In
> particular, developments in biotechnology and information technology  
> have
> put the system under pressure; however, those developments have also
> resulted in the discussion of issues of a more fundamental nature for  
> the
> entire patent system. The recommendation by the group is to slow down  
> in an
> attempt to control this evolution, to ensure the appropriate  
> development and
> exchange of knowledge needed to support future growth and welfare.
>
> Based on this general conclusion the working group presents a series of
> recommendations in the report, which aims to stimulate a fundamental  
> debate
> about the future of the patent system
