"I voted for this report. The protection and preservation of genetic diversity is a key component of the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Genetic resources (GR) are particularly essential for sustainable agriculture and food security. Furthermore, genetic diversity is one of the most important components for the survival of the species and the ecosystem’s resilience. Therefore, the loss of genetic diversity that occurs as part of the biodiversity erosion process represents a key challenge for humanity. In spite of its vital importance for human survival, genetic diversity is being lost at an alarming increased rate. Such erosion of diversity sets new challenges for both holders and users of GR, the former being most often biodiversity-rich developing countries, the latter being usually developed countries In this context biopiracy has emerged as a major concern for developing countries. Although there is no general definition of the term ‘biopiracy’, it usually refers to a situation in which biological resources are taken from local communities or indigenous people and are patented while the resulting profits do not benefit the communities which originated the resources, disclosed their properties and have used them."@en1
