Descriptors in situ on-farm

• PGR-Forum
• Workshop on in situ data management
  methodology
• 8-10 Sept.2003, Prague, Czech Republic
• (back to back with EPGRIS final meeting)
• UNEP-GEF-Project on Crop Wild Relatives
• IPGRI, FAO, WCMC, BGCI, BLE, PGR-Forum first
  draft
• Status Version 1.0 October 2005
• process coordinated by IPGRI

Descriptors in situ on-farm EU-regulatory
framework (on-farm)

• Financial support for on-farm management
  (landraces)
• Council Regulation 1257/99 to be continued
  as1698/2005
• European Agric. Fund for Rural Development
  (EAFRD), Art. 39 (5)
• Support may be provided for the conservation of
  genetic resources
• in agriculture for operations not covered by the
  provisions
• under paras. 1 to 4.
• Implementing rules are under development (para
  24) excluding research
• Marketing of landraces (PGR in situ / on-farm)
• EU 98/95 and Com. Directive on implementing rules
  (last version Nov. 2005)
• provide definitions and rules for marketing,
  incl. registration (certification)
• Conservation varieties
• Amateur varieties (of vegetable species)
• Preservation seed mixtures (mainly forages)
• in charge Standing Committee on Seed

8
Discussion of PGR data flow in Europe

• nomination of National Focal Points for National
  Inventories
• by National Coordinators
• ex situ ? on-farm - in situ -
• establishment of National Inventories
• ex situ many on-farm a few in situ ?
• establishment of European Catalogue
• ex situ EURISCO on-farm - in situ - (part
  of EURISCO?)
• data exchange formats between National
  Inventories and
• European Catalogue
• ex situ ? on-farm - in situ -
  (coordinated by IPGRI)

9
International role of EURISCO

• GBIF developments should be monitored
• suggested that IPGRI calls a meeting with FAO
  and ECP/GR
• Network representatives to reduce duplication
  of effort and
• revising the process of accession data
  acquisition
• Link with Global Crop Diversity Trust and other
  regions
• ECP/GR Inter-regional cooperation Network could
  consider
• documentation workshops in other regions

10

EURISCO and ECCDBs

• ECCDBs harmonize their structure with EURISCO
• ECCDB managers could focus on user-oriented
• scientific activities (data analysis, tailored
  services,...)
• 3-4 ECCDBs should be selected to analyse
  discrepancies
• between EURISCO and ECCDB (wheat, forages,
  etc.)
• Linkage with ECCDBs (incl. CE data) to be
  revisited
• at EURISCO-Advisory Group meeting 2007, Rome
• developments expected by EPGRIS-2

11
EURISCO development at IPGRI

• Status review
• Web site
• Dissemination
• (further details will be presented by IPGRI,
  Sonía)
• further developments expected by EPGRIS-2

12
EPGRIS-2 objectives

• Further development of EURISCO by specifically
  focusing on
• increasing the quantity of data in EURISCO and
  including characterisation and evaluation data
• providing more efficient, user-friendly methods
  for data exchange between data providers and
  EURISCO
• training and supporting National Focal Points
  and others in the new capabilities of EURISCO,
  and promoting it throughout Europe

13
EPGRIS-2 objectives

• implementing demonstrator portals for four crops
  important in Europe, bringing together
  information about the crops, their uses, plant
  genetic resources and other useful data (lettuce,
  Lolium, Beta and barley)
• providing a Web-based service for visualising
  geographical origins of populations and the
  distribution pattern of associated data
• improving the quality of plant names in EURISCO,
  and extending its search capability to include
  common names in European languages

14
EPGRIS-2 aims

• increase access to information on Plant Genetic
  Resources held in Europe
• support the Member States in the further
  development and dissemination of National
  Inventories of PGR
• work in close collaboration with other
  international organisations
• ensure to meet European obligations for
  documentation of plant genetic resources
• Contribute to
• the Clearing House Mechanism (CHM) of the CBD
• the implementation of Global Plan of Action
