The signatory organizations share a concern about the potentially harmful effect of inappropriate or overly burdensome regulation of genetic resources. The statement cautions that: "Such obligations would place additional hurdles on biological research - with potentially negative consequences for the advancement of science and the huge societal value this generates, as well as for achieving the three objectives of the [Convention on Biological Diversity]."
Amongst the signatories are e. g. Global Genome Biodiversity Network (GGBN), American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), Gesellschaft für Pflanzenzüchtung (GPZ), Leibniz-Institut für Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschgung (IPK)
