 Interregional Negotiating Group (ING) of the Ad-hoc Open Ended Working Group of Access and Benefit-Sharing
18-21 September 2010 | Montréal, Canada |

 The Interregional negotiating group (ING) established to negotiate a draft international protocol on access and benefit-sharing (ABS) to implement the third objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) met from 18-21 September 2010 in Montreal, Canada. The ING was established during the ninth session of the Ad hoc Open-ended Working Group on Access and Benefit-Sharing, held 22-28 March 2010 in Santiago de Cali, Colombia. The ING comprises five representatives for each UN region; two representatives each for indigenous and local communities, civil society, industry and public research; and the representatives of the current and upcoming Conference of the Parties (COP) Presidencies. The spokespersons and representatives can change freely, and discussions are open to the attendance of all Working Group participants. The ING is co-chaired by the ABS Working Group Co-Chairs Timothy Hodges (Canada) and Fernando Casas (Colombia). The ING reconvened during the resumed session of ABS 9, from 10-16 July 2010 in Montreal, Canada, during which it proved to be an efficient negotiation setting. The revised draft protocol, contained in the Annex to the ABS 9 report (UNEP/CBD/COP10/10/5/Add.4) served as basis for further negotiations (the Montreal Annex). More information. |
