OO. 6.2 Implement and encourage the use of the Bonn Guidelines and related codes of conducts

Belgium needs to promote guidelines for implementation of the access and benefit-sharing dispositions of the CBD such as the Bonn Guidelines. Targeted codes of conduct (such as MOSAICC) should be developed further and their use must be encouraged.

Furthermore, Belgium needs to develop and implement national mechanisms and measures concerning access to genetic resources and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits in accordance with the CBD. These mechanisms will be of a legislative, institutional and financial character and involve coordination among administrations and other parties involved.
