Poursuivre la prise de mesures juridiques, administratives ou de politique générale

Description

La réglementation actuelle en vigueur dans la mise en œuvre du protocole de Nagoya ne suffit plus désormais pour prendre en compte tous les concepts nouveaux apparus ces dernières années. Il est donc important d’élaborer de mettre à jour certains texte réglementaires et législatifs en même temps rehausser le niveau de la législation dans la gestion de APA dans notre pays. Ceci est un défi pour le Bénin d’ici à 2030 pour mieux assurer un partage juste et équitable des bénéfices issues des ressources génétiques

Please outline the main policy measures or actions that will be taken to achieve this national target.

Les principales mesures ou actions politiques qui seront prises pour atteindre cet objectif sont les suivantes

- Proposer et introduire en conseil des ministres une loi en lien avec l’APA (Développement de l’outil juridique et réglementaire) prenant en compte les concepts nouveaux

- Mieux faire comprendre l’ISN, gène drive, la biologie synthétique et les autres concepts nouveaux de l’APA

-Mettre à jour les autres documents juridiques et législatifs dans la mise en œuvre de APA au Bénin en tenant compte des réalités actuelles.
