refused, hindering the environmentally sound
work conducted under IPM to fi nd alternatives to
pesticides. A background study by FAO (Cock
et al. 2009 ) and other publications highlighted
the needs of the biocontrol community and pre-
sented a number of case studies of successful
work and hindrance through CBD.
The International Regime on ABS is expected
to be adopted in October 2010 by the 193 mem-
ber countries of the CBD, but its implementation
and practicability remain unclear. Currently, ABS
seems to constitute a signifi cant obstacle for agri-
cultural research in general and breeding and pest
control in particular. It is therefore necessary that
the ABS Protocol provides room for specialized
ABS arrangements for genetic resources, such as
ubiquitous benefi cial microorganisms for which
the application of the CBD's concept of country
of origin is doubtful, but which are of direct rel-
evance to future pest management strategies
imposed by climate change and intensifi ed farming
systems (SGRP 2010 ).
