Industry supports the creation of a practical and workable International Regime (IR) on Access and Benefit Sharing adapted to the different sectors working with genetic resources.
As reflected by record levels of attendance at the Ninth Conference of the Parties, the business community remains engaged and focused on substantive discussions in the access and benefit sharing (ABS) negotiations, including on the objectives, scope and main components of an IR (the Regime). In this paper, business seeks to provide information as requested in the Terms of Reference for the upcoming Technical Experts Group (TEG) on Concepts, Terms, Working Definitions and Sectoral Approaches.
