Abstract

These Regulations implement provisions of Regulation (EU) No 511/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on compliance measures for users from the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization in the Union. The EU Regulation and these Regulations apply to genetic resources over which States exercise sovereign rights, and to traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources, that are accessed after the entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol for the European Union. These Regulations do not apply to genetic resources for which access and benefit-sharing is governed by specialised international instruments that are consistent with, and do not run counter to the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol.
