    <p>Our article profited from discussions at ABS-workshops held at
      SPNHC conferences in Cardiff, Berlin and Denver and work in the
      Legislations &amp; Regulations Committee. It further profited from
      the work of the ABS working groups of CETAF (Consortium of
      European Taxonomic Facilities), the close exchange with the Global
      Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN) and from practical feedback the
      authors received during various workshops and meeting dealing with
      ABS.</p>
    <p>Really appreciated the lively discussions during SPNHC
      conferences which helped to shape this article. <br>
    </p>
    Maybe you will find this useful. <br>
    <p>All the best</p>

    <p>***********************</p>
    <p>some details:</p>
    <p>The article takes the perspective of Natural History Collections,
      which - as you may know - are deeply engaged in research
      collaborations with providers of GR in many countries which
      support the initial aims of ABS to conserve biodiversity and to
      promote the sustainable use of the world's biodiversity. Our
      article summarises recent developments resulting from the entering
      into force of the NP on 12 Oct 2014, the European regulation (EU)
      No. 511/2014  on ABS, and how they will impact on natural history
      collections and biodiversity research globally (not only in
      Europe, but also in North America).</p>
    <p>It includes knowledge and experience from close contacts and the
      feedback on ABS-related issues from major natural history
      collection in Europe and the United States and from the
      international DNA-barcoding community. We evaluate practical
      challenges and implications for biodiversity researchers and
      collections and suggest the formation of ABS-compliant
      international networks to support monitoring and to enable a
      simplified exchange of genetic resources which ultimately results
      in the promotion of CBD-compliant biosciences.</p>
