New ABS legislation and practice and compliance with the Nagoya Protocol

提出这项申请是为了促进正在进行的关于《名古屋议定书》后ABS立法和实践执行情况的研究项目的完成。如前所述，本研究侧重于在《议定书》准备阶段的谈判中未得到解决或在执行阶段出现的一些突出问题/问题，这些问题如何被纳入新的ABS立法和实践，以及这些立法和实践如何应对新的要求以及它们的执行情况。同样，重点关注的是它们如何合法和切实地履行《名古屋议定书》的义务。此外，正在讨论选定的问题，目的是揭示这些问题对执行工作构成的挑战。此外，正在确定交叉问题和法律移植，以便找到解决悬而未决问题和丰富国家反兴奋剂机构跨国界法律和实践的方法，此外，还将评估国家办法在实现效率和效力方面的成功，并为开放、未解决和新出现的问题找到解决办法，这些办法将纳入正在进行的执行和谈判进程。由于许多国家法律在项目过程中生效或正在立法，以及这些法律迟迟才能获得，最初的工作必须对照新的规定进行检查--当项目开始时，在选定的15个案例研究中，只有4个国家将《名古屋议定书》后的立法作为单独的法律或对旧法律的修订。目前，我们有8项新立法、2项草案和3项正在进行的修订。同样，实践需要一些时间来熟悉新措施并制定管理办法。此外，我们研究项目的焦点问题，如数字序列信息、截止点、非商业性/商业性研究，以及对提供者国家权利的限制，也越来越受到政界和学术界的关注。因此，该项目不得不处理新的立法和论述，试图提出准确、切实和现实的解决方案，以应对仍然悬而未决的挑战。虽然这些发展使该项目有机会产生新的和最先进的结果，但另一方面，它们减缓了进度。因此，续期的目的是给项目经理(1)更多的时间来引导合作伙伴完成他们的论文，(2)更多的时间来完成他自己的案例研究和重点文件，以及(3)必要的时间来编辑26篇稿件，其中大部分是由非英语国家的研究人员撰写的。

This application is made in order to facilitate the completion of the ongoing research project on post Nagoya Protocol implementation of ABS legislation and practice. As already mentioned the study focuses on selected salient questions/issues that were not resolved during the negotiations in the run up to the Protocol, or which have arisen in the implementation stage, how they are being integrated in the new ABS legislation and practice as well as how these are coping with the new requirements and how they are performing. Likewise, being focused on is how they legally and practically comply with the obligations of the Nagoya Protocol. Further, selected issues are being discussed with the aim of exposing the challenges they pose to implementation. In addition, cross-cutting issues and legal transplants are being identified in order to find ways of resolving outstanding issues and enriching national ABS laws and practice across borders besides assessing the success of national approaches in achieving efficiency and effectiveness, and generating solutions for open, unresolved and emerging questions, which will be fed into the ongoing implementation and negotiation process. As a result of many national laws coming into force or being legislated in the course of the project as well as these becoming available late, the initial pieces of work had to be checked against the new provisions – when the project began only 4 countries from the selected 15 case studies had post-Nagoya Protocol legislations either as stand-alone laws or revisions to old ones. Right now we have 8 new legislations, 2 drafts and 3 ongoing revisions. Likewise practice took some time to get itself acquainted to the new measures and develop administrative approaches. Besides, issues focal to our research project e.g. on digital sequence information, cut-off points, non-commercial/commercial research, and limits of provider country rights, have gained more and more political and scholarly attention. As a result, the project has had to deal with new legislation and discourses in an attempt to come up with accurate, tangible and realistic solutions to still pending challenges. Whilst these developments give the project the opportunity to produce novel and state of the art results, they, on the other hand, have slowed its progress. Therefore, the aim of the renewal is to give the project manager (1) more time to induce partners to finalise their papers, (2) extra time to complete his own case studies and focal paper, as well as (3) the necessary time for editing the 26 contributions the majority of which are written by non-native English speaking researchers.
