Resumed Session of ABS 9 Makes Steps towards Finalization of
ABS Protocol |

Montréal,
17 July—The resumed ninth meeting of
the Ad Hoc Open-ended Working Group on
Access and Benefit-sharing (ABS) of the
Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
which met from 10-16 July 2010, in
Montréal, Canada, approved a substantive
outcome in the form of a draft ABS
protocol. The text is no longer a
Co-Chairs’ text but rather a text
negotiated by parties, however several
sets of brackets remain. As a result,
the Working Group decided to hold
another meeting before COP 10, possibly
in September 2010.
