Amendment 111 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 2
This Regulation does not apply to genetic resources from countries which are not signatories of the Nagoya Protocol and which have no access law in conformity with the requirements of the Nagoya Protocol in place. This Regulation does also not apply to genetic resources which are available as commodities, or for which access and benefit- sharing is governed by a specialised international instrument to which the Union is a Party. Due regard should be paid to useful and relevant ongoing work or practices under other international organisations, provided that they are supportive of and do not run counter to the objectives of the Convention and this Protocol.
