[Nhcoll-l] Brazil Adopts New Law on Accessing Biodiversity

Thu Jun 25 16:07:59 EDT 2015

So I just heard from a colleague in Brazil (Paulo Backup) who says the following:

"  I read the new law. It replaces the old law, but it seems that nothing has changed and old requirements are still required, including the need for TTMs. On the other hand, additional new requirements will now be in place. The main novelty is a new requirement involving the need to record all transactions in a new federal database.  Shipments for scientific research still need permits.  The new law also adds uncertainty, because the new system is not operational and the law will not take effect for six months. Meanwhile we remain in uncertainty. Worse, the new law calls for retroactive adjustments in transactions performed under the old law."

The original law can be found here:  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.planalto.gov.br_ccivil-5F03_-5FAto2015-2D2018_2015_Lei_L13123.htm-23art48&d=AwIFAw&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=KMAfonAW3ynqrQ53su41BgxPnDiBxFFsWZEYwBpVNJk&s=SrT15vITPXKs3_on7aZH2_HGRQMcexqnhA94NfeMWFA&e= 

In Portuguese only -Google translate does a fair job - see attached

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Brazil Adopts New Law on Accessing Biodiversity

More details regarding the new law adopted by Brazil concerning biodiversity.  This directly pertains to Nagoya protocol.  I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has more details regarding this law - particularly someone in Brazil - and how it affects our domain?
