"Two senior United States trade negotiators who sealed the trade
deal with Australia have accepted plum jobs representing U.S.
medical and drug companies," reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Ralph Ives, the current U.S. trade representative for
pharmaceutical policy, will become the industry group AdvaMed's
vice-president for global strategy. Claude Burcky, head U.S.
negotiator for intellectual property trade issues, will become
Abbott Laboratories' director of global government affairs. "This
may help explain why the Australian trade agreement is designed to
undercut access to affordable medicines for Americans and
Australians alike," said U.S. Representative Sherrod Brown. Wexler
and Walker Public Policy Associates, an independent unit of PR firm
Hill & Knowlton, lobbied on behalf of U.S. businesses in support of
the American-Australian Free Trade Agreement.
