ABSCH-MSR-NL-208036-9 Legislative, Administrative or Policy Measure Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act This document has been updated. This is not the latest published version. Click here to view the latest version of the record.
The Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act (Wet implementatie Nagoya Protocol) contains definitions (Article 1), and deals with the implementation (Articles 2 and 3), the designation of competent authorities (Article 4), sanctions and other measures (Articles 5, 6, 7 and 8), the entry into force (Article 9), and the name of the law (Article 10).
The Explanatory Memorandum (Memorie van Toelichting) of the Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act starts with an introduction (paragraph 1), addresses the background to the Nagoya Protocol (paragraph 2), explains the contents of the Nagoya Protocol (paragraph 3), and discusses the relationship to other conventions (paragraph 4). Subsequently, it deals with the contents of the European ABS Regulation (paragraph 5), and its implementation in the Netherlands (paragraph 6). the relationship to other legislation (paragraph 7) and the burden (paragraph 8) are discussed, and the memorandum concludes with an explanation of each individual article of the Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act (paragraph 9). In the annex, the relationships between the articles of the Nagoya Protocol, the European ABS Regulation and the Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act are presented in tables.
With the publication of the Decree of 8 April 2016 laying down the date of entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act, the Nagoya Protocol (Implementation) Act came into force on 23 April 2016.
The legislation for implementation of the Nagoya Protocol in the Netherlands does not regulate access to genetic resources, as the Dutch government considers it unnecessary to exercise its sovereignty regarding access to genetic resources occurring in the Netherlands in national legislation (section 6.2.1 of the Explanatory Memorandum). This means that you do not need PIC to access genetic resources in the Netherlands. However, access may be restricted by means of legislation and regulatory requirements in the area of species protection, territorial protection, and animal and plant diseases. Environmental impact rules may also apply. Genetic resources in farms or in gardens are held privately and hence transfer of these genetic resources in any form requires the consent of the owner.
