In the morning, ITPGR delegates discussed the Global Information System on PGRFA, operations of the Third Party Beneficiary, the Governing Body’s business plan and development of a multi-year programme of work, and matters relevant to the Treaty arising from FAO reform. The contact group agreed on establishment of an intersessional working group with the mandate to develop measures to increase user-based payments and contributions to the benefit-sharing fund, and then enhance the functioning of the Multilateral System by additional measures. Delegates simplified language on the tasks of the working group and on preliminary studies to be undertaken by the Secretariat; and reached agreement on most related paragraphs in the draft resolution.
In the afternoon, plenary concluded the discussions on the programme of work on sustainable use of PGRFA with one outstanding issue remaining, and began considering the report of the Compliance Committee and its recommendations regarding the Committee’s rules of procedure and the standard reporting format.
