Utilisation of genetic resources (ABS legislation/Nagoya Protocol)

As a beneficiary of EU research funding, you are obliged to determine whether your project falls within the scope of the ABS (Access and Benefit Sharing) legislation when utilising genetic resources and, if so, to ensure that your project complies with it.

Utilisation of genetic resources within the context of the EU Regulation means the conduct of research and/or development activities on a genetic resource and/or biochemical composition of genetic resources or the utilisation of traditional knowledge associated with it.
