Abstract

This article analyses the process of liberalisation and regulation of variety and seed markets in China through the specific case of Bt-cotton. The development of the markets addressed is linked to the intellectual property protection specified at the establishment of WTO that China joined in 2001. The Chinese institutional framework is studied here with the purpose of assessing the extent of its specificity relatively to other emerging countries, WTO member countries, and which also have adopted Bt-cotton (namely South Africa, India and Brazil). The Chinese case explored reveals a case of excessive competition that no emerging countries had thought about preventing in their sui generis systems. China has opted recently for an administrative approach to cope with the variety and seed "markets disorder", resulting from an excessive competition. By doing so, China violates a few measures of its sui generis system while the regulation modalities could hardly be effective.
