Geneva, 26 January—The sixth meeting of the Ad Hoc Open-ended Working Group on Access and Benefit-sharing (ABS) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) made considerable progress in producing a short and concise working document on the international regime, consisting of sections on the main components and lists of items “to be further elaborated with the aim of incorporating them in the international regime” in case there was agreement in principle, or “for further consideration,” in case of disagreement or need for further clarification. The 21-25 January 2008 meeting took place in Geneva, Switzerland. The outcome will be submitted for consideration by the Conference of the Parties to the CBD at its ninth meeting (19-30 May 2008, Bonn, Germany). More.
