ABS ASPECTS OF THE MOOREA BIOCODE PROJECT CASE STUDY - FRENCH POLYNESIA Sabine Brels Legal analyst, R.B Gump research station (UCB)

 What? Scientific research program  Why? Exhaustive inventory of Moorea’s biodiversity  How? Genetic barcoding approach  Where? Moorea Ecostation  When? 3 years until 2010, more?  Who? Biocode Consortium – U.S & French partners Moorea Biocode Project (MBP) CriobeGump

ABS considerations of Biocode  1- International: Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) + ABS international regime  2- Local: French Polynesia + ABS Law in FP  3- Specific: Biocode +ABS code of conduct for Research

International Level CBD provisions & futur ABS regime ABS aspects of the MBP

Biocode & CBD provisions on ABS  Objective (Art.1) - Fair & equitable Benefit Sharing from genetic resources utilization  Genetic studies!  Rights & Obligations (Art.15 ) - Sovereign rights of States = BIG PBS!!! Ownership, Money ect… - Obligations to regulate ABS + not impose improper restrictions!  Conservation activities!  Protection (Art.8 j) - Indigenous & Local Communities (ILCs) related traditional knowledge  South Pacific!

Biocode & the futur ABS regime  CBOL Workshop: ABS in Non-Commercial Research (Bonn, 2008) - Distinction between commercial & non commercial research?  Conclusions provided to the ABS Working Group of CBD Important to involve researchers !!! 2010 ???

Local Level FP implementation & futur ABS Law ABS aspects of the MBP

Biocode & ABS in French Polynesia  ABS implementation in FP ( France = State Party to the CBD) - FP 2004 Autonomous Status : Jurisdiction in environmental concerns Draft ABS Law (2006) in suspense... FP Strategy on Biodiversity : Inventories = Urgent necessity!  Importance of scienticific research & the MBP in FP! New hope!

Specific Level Biocode agreements ABS aspects of the MBP

MBP Cooperation agreements in FP University of California Berkeley (Gump Station) User Te Pu Atitia Providers French Polynesia (State) Community based Organisation (ILCs)  Prior Informed Consent - Access?

MBP & Memorandum of Understanding  Biocode Consortium: French & American partners Moorea Ecostation (UCB, CNRS – EPHE) + Paris, Florida & California Museums (MNHN; FLMNH; BNHM) + Scientific Research Institutions (SI; IRD) - Code of conduct under discussion with FP – Rights respected! Future model Material Transfert Agreement (MTA) for non-commercial research on genetic resources…  Mutually Agreed Terms - Benefits Sharing?

ABS implementation frame of the MBP For the moment… International: CBD but NO ABS regime (binding?) Regional: NO ABS strategy in the Pacific National: NO French legislation Local: NO ABS legislation in FP  Volontary compliance of CBD obligations!

MBP exemplary compliance & contributions regarding ABS requirements  1- International scale: - In line with CBD objectives - Helping the Working Group with the futur ABS regime  2- Local scale: - In line with the FP Strategy on Biodiversity - Helping FP Government with its ABS Law  3- Specific scale: - In line with FP & ILCs rights recognized by the CBD - Helping the Research Community to develop a model MTA

Conclusions on Biocode & ABS  Crucial tool for biodiversity protection in French Polynesia  Volontary & exemplary approach on ABS compliance  Paving the way for future model code of conduct on ABS  Active involvement for everybody’s benefits (Govt, ILC, researchers)  For future ABS legal instruments ADAPTED to better protect Biodiversity & Traditional knowledge in FP!

Thank You Very Much!
