<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Ann,<br>
<br>
the CETAF Code of Conduct & Best Practice docs that are
currently developed by the ABS working group are currently
discussed during the CETAF spring meeting, as you might know. An
earlier draft version is available here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.cetaf.org_sites_default_files_cetaf-5Fabs-5Fcode-5Fof-5Fconduct-5F2014.pdf&d=AwMD-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cmVlKuwjitm6D6eYb-Fqhk3k-Msuixyc_XpItOlBqyk&s=z3fAi-1s5o6YfHZdMOxp-TyL4Ahsas2SJIlp1GtHTLU&e=">http://www.cetaf.org/sites/default/files/cetaf_abs_code_of_conduct_2014.pdf</a><br>
<br>
For Botanical Gardens, the BGCI-website offers first solutions how
to deal with ABS<br>
<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.bgci.org_resources_abs-5Flearning_&d=AwMD-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=cmVlKuwjitm6D6eYb-Fqhk3k-Msuixyc_XpItOlBqyk&s=X7QO_7zxuqJu07RVAsX2s9sWuzvpaI4v6Cw9gvgbZeQ&e=">http://www.bgci.org/resources/abs_learning/</a><br>
<br>
Under European Law, we collections and especially Botanical
Gardens will have difficulties to comply with the ABS Implementing
Act, that is currently negotiated among EU Member States;
currently, the IPEN-Network for exchange of living plants between
Botanical Gardens would fail to meet the best practice
requirements stipulated in the draft version of the implementing
act.<br>
<br>
We are working on it, and our hope is to widen our scope in
getting collections outside Europe into the boot (e.g. via SPNHC
or the GGBN);<br>
and we are tryig to arrange for a specific ABS workshop during the
SPNHC meeting in Berlin next year (to be confirmed).<br>
<br>
All the best<br>
Dirk <br>
