Paragraph 3

3. Underlines the fact that, although there is no general definition of the term ‘biopiracy’, it usually refers to the pre- industrial ~~practice of privatising and patenting products based on~~and industrial misappropiation and malpractice of benefiting commercially from the traditional knowledge or genetic resources of indigenous peoples, without authorisation or providing compensation to source countries;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18

18. Notes with concern that, while the CBD aims at fair and equitable access and benefit sharing between providers and users of genetic resources, for 20 years WTO-TRIPS has favoured users of genetic resources through the WTO dispute-settlement mechanism for patent protectionPoints out that the evidence of over a decade of deliberation in the multilateral organizations suggests that the patent system is an unsatisfactory regulatory tool for addressing acts of misappropriation; notes that it is widely-accepted that the most effective means of achieving the goals of the CBD is through the development of equitable contracts between source countries and recipients, supported by sectoral arrangements and codes of conduct and that patents may be an important mean of generating value for source countries and their indigenous communities;
