ITPGRFA: Draft provisional agenda for the Third Session of the Governing Body The draft provisional agenda for the Third Session of the Governing Body of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture has now been published. The Third Session of the Governing Body of the ITPGRFA will be held in Tunis, Tunisia, 1-5 June 2009 and the implementation of Article 9 on Farmers' Rights is item 14 on the provisional agenda. The implementation of Article 6 on the sustainable use of plant genetic resources, which is highly relevant for the implementation of Farmers' Rights, is item 13 on the provisional agenda. At its Second Session the Governing Body adopted a resolution on Farmers' Rights that states that Contracting Parties and organizations are encouraged to submit views on and experiences from the implementation of Farmers' Rights. To allow for a rich and fruitful discussion of the implementation of Farmers' Rights at the Third Session of the Governing Body it is hoped that all parties and organizations who would like to contribute to the work of the Governing Body within this area will use this opportunity to present their contributions. Those who have not already done so should send their contributions to the Secretariat as soon as possible. As is stated in the resolution on Farmers' Rights, the Governing Body is committed to involve farmers' organizations in its work. It would therefore be benficial to the discussion of item 14 and other items relevant to Farmers' Rights if Contracting Parties and organizations that have the possibility to do so, could invite farmer representatives to take part in their delegations.
