  1. The text of the “Weird statement on genetic resources from EU Commission” is at
    http://ec.europa.eu/environment/biodiversity/international/abs/pdf/PROPOSAL_FOR_A_REGULATION_EN.pdf
    (pdf 23 pages)

    I think its from the people who promised
    “to explore the scope for developing a strategy for the conservation of genetic diversity”
    (https://agro.biodiver.se/2011/06/eu-needs-to-coordinate-to-strategize-to-conserve-genetic-diversity/)

    The full title of this latest document is
    COM(2012) 576 final 2012/0278 (COD)
    Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
    on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization in the Union
