The Nagoya Protocol (Compliance) (Amendment) Regulations 2015
These Regulations amend the Nagoya Protocol (Compliance) Regulations 2015 (S.I. 2015/821), which implement, within the United Kingdom, compliance measures for users of genetic resources or traditional knowledge associated with genetic resources resulting from the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilisation to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The amendment ensures that there is a penalty associated with the offence of obstruction of an inspector who exercises a power under those Regulations.
