A number of members also reiterated their position that a proposed 2011 decision to enhance mutual supportiveness between the TRIPS Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) should be the basis of further discussions. Their suggestions that the CBD Secretariat be invited to brief WTO members on developments regarding the convention and that earlier Secretariat summary notes on the review under Article 27.3(b), the relationship between TRIPS and the CBD, and on the protection of traditional knowledge and folklore (the “triplets”) be updated did not garner full support of the membership.
(...) “These consultations produced no new thinking or shifts in delegations’ positions, and so we have no indication so far of how we could work towards fulfilling the Ministers’ instructions in the remaining 12 months, and to prepare recommendations for the 2017 Ministerial Conference,” he told members.

Policy for conservation of PGRFA
Policy for conservation of PGRFA
The development of policy for the conservation of biodiversity (including plant genetic resources) has a long history—but most significantly, the need to address biodiversity conservation was formally recognized through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Since its inception in 1992, Contracting Parties of the CBD have developed National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) to implement its provisions. (...) The main provision for conservation of PGRFA has historically been national gene bank facilities—however, the CBD and the International Treaty both emphasize the critical importance of in situ conservation, both of wild and cultivated PGRFA diversity. (...) Access and benefit sharing policy
Access and benefit sharing policy
In harmony with the CBD, access and benefit sharing (ABS) is one of the main provisions of the International Treaty.
