Resumen:
The Convention on Biological Diversityand the Nagoya Protocol establish that geneticresources shall be accessed only upon the existenceof prior informed consent of the country that providesthose resources and that benefits arising from theirutilization shall be shared. Pursuant to both agreementsseveral countries have adopted regulations onaccess and benefit-sharing. These regulations havecreated a challenging obstacle to classical biologicalcontrol of weeds. This paper reviews the experiencesof Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, the USA, Canadaand CABI in implementing access and benefit-sharingregulations and the implications these measures haveon the effective and efficient access, exchange andutilization of biological control agents. We concludethat policy makers should be made aware of the keyrole biological control plays for agriculture and theenvironment and they are encouraged to developtailored access and benefit-sharing legal frameworksthat facilitate biological control research andimplementation.
