New ABS legislation and practice and compliance with the Nagoya Protocol

这项申请是为了促进正在进行的关于《名古屋议定书》后ABS立法和实践实施的研究项目的完成。如前所述，该研究的重点是在议定书谈判期间未解决的突出问题/问题，或在实施阶段出现的问题/问题，如何将它们整合到新的ABS立法和实践中，以及这些问题/问题如何应对新的要求以及如何执行。同样，重点是它们如何合法和实际地遵守《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，正在确定跨领域问题和法律移植，以找到解决突出问题的方法，丰富各国跨境ABS法律和实践，同时评估各国方法在实现效率和有效性方面的成功，并为公开的、未解决的和新出现的问题提供解决方案，这些将纳入正在进行的实施和谈判进程。由于许多国家法律在项目过程中生效或立法，以及这些法律很晚才可用，因此必须根据新规定检查最初的工作-当项目开始时，在选定的15个案例研究中，只有4个国家的《名古屋议定书》后立法作为独立法律或对旧法律的修订。现在我们有8项新立法，2项草案和3项正在修订。同样，实践也花了一些时间来熟悉新的措施并制定管理方法。此外，我们研究项目的重点问题，如数字序列信息、截止点、非商业/商业研究、提供者国家权利限制等，也得到了越来越多的政治和学术关注。因此，该项目不得不处理新的立法和话语，试图提出准确、切实和现实的解决办法，以解决仍然悬而未决的挑战。虽然这些发展使项目有机会产生新颖和最先进的结果，但另一方面，它们也减缓了项目的进展。因此，更新的目的是给项目经理(1)更多的时间来诱导合作伙伴完成他们的论文，(2)额外的时间来完成他自己的案例研究和重点论文，以及(3)必要的时间来编辑26份贡献，其中大部分是由非英语母语的研究人员撰写的。

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.
