	GRAIN \| Briefings \| 1998 \| TRIPs versus CBD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The CBD is a result of prolonged international pressure to respond to the destruction of, and unequal profits from, the biodiversity of the Southern hemisphere.
		The CBD is intended to strengthen developing countries' capacities to conserve and use biological diversity on a long-term basis, taking into account all rights over those resources, and including the right to enjoy the benefits of this resource base.
		If the CBD is to be implemented in the interest of humanity's survival and well-being, then urgent measures need to be taken to ensure that its very objectives are not undermined by the narrow agenda of TRIPs.

		The decision of the CBD Parties to call on the UN General Assembly to act urgently to protect deep water corals and seamounts is particularly noteworthy.
		"The failure of the Parties to the CBD to adopt specific objectives for the protection of the oceans is all the more disappointing as strong proposals prepared for the meeting mysteriously failed to reach the conference table," said Gordon Shepherd, Head of WWF's delegation at the CBD CoP7.
		It also recalls the obligation of CBD Parties to respect the rights of indigenous people and local communities, although this commitment has not been as strong as expected by the people concerned.

		A major drawback of the CBD process is the inefficiency of the process, in terms of the utilisation of starting materials and their conversion to thin films.
		The extent of the heterogeneous reaction on the substrate surface is limited by two major factors, the competing homogeneous reaction in solution (which results in massive precipitation in solution) and deposition of material on the CBD reactor walls.
		The large scale exploitation of these devices is partly dependent on a reduction of the potential environmental impact of the technology, as cadmium-containing compounds and wastes are highly regulated in the EU and elsewhere.

	Common Mistakes in Adopting CBD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		To fully leverage CBD and to build a service-oriented architecture, the adopting organization must commit to modeling and documenting its business processes.

		A common mistake in early cases of CBD adoption (and OOT, for that matter) stems from creating services that are too granular.

	Status of implementation of forest-related clauses in the CBD
		There is a surprising lack of awareness and understanding (on the part of both government and civil society) of what the CBD requires and of which commitments relate to forest biodiversity.
		At national level, often countries that have navigated the CBD’s various commitments and have successfully cleared such hurdles as the elaboration of processes and programmes, and the taking of steps to implement these, fall at the hurdle of enforcement.
		In the name of information-sharing, examples of good practice in implementing the CBD on the national level should be better highlighted and made available through the CBD Clearing House Mechanism.
