Existing Guidelines and Codes of Conduct Related to Access and Benefit-Sharing:
In Argentina, Resolution No. 226/2010 of the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (SAyDS) governs and regulates access to genetic resources in order to ensure that the benefits derived from their use are shared fairly and equitably with the providers of said resources in accordance with the Convention on Biological Diversity (National Act No. 24.375). The Resolution covers all genetic material which is representative of biological diversity as defined in Article 2 of the Convention on Biological Diversity and which is collected or obtained by any means for scientific purposes or for research purposes applied to industry or trade, with a view to its import or export.
