Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
I refer to your letter to me dated July 29, 2009, containing comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the above-referenced filings with the SEC, and our responses thereto, sent on our behalf on August 13, 2009. In connection with such responses to the Staff’s comments, on behalf of Teva, I acknowledge that:
•
Teva is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in its filings with the SEC;
•
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the SEC from taking any action with respect to the filings; and
•
Teva may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the SEC or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Eyal Desheh
