• 17 Jun 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. That is the position. This is because, initially, when we went through the negotiations especially in sectors that are very well formed, it is very difficult to get a representative umbrella body that everybody agrees with.

I beg to Move:- THAT, Clause 30 of the Bill be amended in Sub-clause (2) by inserting the words “within thirty days of its execution” immediately after the word “Authority”. This clause is dealing with how every benefit sharing agreement will be processed. It was felt that if we do not give a timeline, we might have agreements that go on for very long.
