Este marco legal es el fundamento para la elaboración del marco legal de acceso y participación de beneficios el cual se encuentra en su etapa inicial; no obstante el MVOTMA ha aprobado una Resolución Ministerial con el fin de regular el acceso y la participación de beneficios, hasta tanto se tenga el marco legal nacional.
