The forthcoming enlargement of the European Union poses a major political, economic and ecological challenge for the EU, the Member States and the Candidate Countries. One of the last and most difficult chapters to be discussed in the accession negotiations is the agricultural chapter of the aquis communautaire. The presentations and additional background information of the international workshop entitled "EU Enlargement: Impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on Environment and Nature" that took place on 4-5 September 2001 in Bonn have been published in the BfN-Skripten

For this study the results of the meeting of the Ad Hoc Working Group on access and benefit sharing of genetic resources, held in Bonn in October 2001, were analysed. The study was compiled in order to prepare the German negotiating position for the Sixth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity. The recommendations made in this study are based on an assessment of Germany's interests in access and benefit sharing of genetic resources.
