How about:

"On the whole, the ALAC cannot determine whether an unlimited closed generics provide public benefits."

Though even this seems exaggerated.

Why are we talking about unlimited closed generics.
I thought we were talking about a very finite number.
In fact a relatively small number.

Has ALAC really determined that a small number of closed generics are not in the public interest?

How was this determined?  If indeed it was determined, we should describe how?

Perhaps a truer statement might be:

The current belief of some in ALAC is that the small number of closed generics may not be in the public interest.
