EU ABS Regulation - REGULATION (EU) No 511/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 16 April 2014 on compliance measures for users from the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization in the Union
This Regulation establishes rules governing compliance with access and benefit-sharing for genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources in accordance with the provisions of the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization to the Convention on Biological Diversity (the ‘Nagoya Protocol’). The effective implementation of this Regulation will also contribute to the conservation of biological diversity and the sustainable use of its components, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention on Biological Diversity (the ‘Convention’).
This Regulation applies to all EU Member States, regardless of their individual ratification of the Nagoya Protocol.
Due to the division of competences between the EU and its Member States, some elements related to the compliance measures (such as the penalties, authorities in charge of the compliance checks) are not directly provided for in the EU ABS Regulation but are or will be implemented by each EU Member State.
This Regulation implements the obligatory compliance measures of the Nagoya Protocol. It does not establish access rules at EU level. For EU Member States that decide to establish access rules, these will be found in the legislation of the respective EU Member State (see their respective Country Profile).

This is not the latest published version. Click here to view the latest version of the record.On the basis of powers granted in Regulation 511/2014 (the "basic" EU ABS Regulation), this Implementing Regulation specifies further the compliance rules established by the basic Regulation and establishes procedures to be followed when applying for recognition of the voluntary compliance support mechanisms.
The Implementing Regulation clarifies when, to whom and which information is to be submitted when filing the due diligence declarations required by the basic Regulation. Furthermore, it establishes the procedures to be followed when a collection applies to become a "registered collection", and when an association of users or other interested parties apply for recognition of "best practices".
This Regulation, like the basic Regulation, is directly applicable in all EU Member States and implements the compliance measures of the Nagoya Protocol. Access rules, if established by EU Member States, can be found in the legislation of the respective Member State (see their Country Profiles).
This EU Regulation applies to all EU Member States. Its provisions are (or will be) supplemented by further measures at Member States' level, such as designation of competent authorities and provisions on penalties.
The EU ABS Regulation does not regulate access to genetic resources and to traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources within the EU. Access rules might be provided in the national legislation of EU Member States (see above).
