Challenges of biological resource center after the entry into force of the Nagoya protocol = 나고야의정서 발효에 따른 생물자원센터의 과제

Abstract

After the entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol on 12 October 2014, it is necessary for a g enetic r esource a ccess p ermission(Prior I nformed C onsent) a nd a b enefit-sharing contract(Mutually Agreed Terms). It affects biotechnological research and industry which utilize biological resource as a key-source. The biological resource center(BRC) carry out the collection and distribution of biological resources as a typical ex-situ conservation institution. It is faced with new circumstance by the entry into force of the Nagoya Protocol. In this study, we review previous efforts of BRCs to comply biological resources related circumstances. In addition, we study the registered collections in the EU regulation for the Nagoya Protocol implementation. Finally, we suggest measures for providing legal clearness and certainty for BRCs. It can be a cornerstone of domestic bioindustry development.
