SUMMARY REPORT OF THE MEETING 9 - Data format It was agreed that the data format should ensure compatibility with the EURISCO catalogue, i.e. FAO/IPGRI Multi-crop passport descriptors (second version, Dec. 2001 6 ) with the 6 additional descriptors defined for EURISCO. 7 - Financial support The Group agreed that the creation of the database is not possible without financial support. Funding opportunities from international organizations (FAO, EC, etc.) or pharmaceutical companies which might be interested in MAP genetic resource conservation will be explored by the Chair of the WG. Ernst Schneider kindly offered to assist in establishing contacts with potential donors from the pharmaceutical industry in Germany and his offer was accepted. • Short-term tasks Election of the Chair and Vice-Chair Before establishing the workplan for short-term activities, the Group considered it necessary to identify the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson who would be responsible for ensuring the progress of the workplan and coordination between the WG members until the end of the next meeting of the Working Group. Dea Baričevič was elected as Chairperson and Jenő Bernáth was elected as Vice-Chairperson, both receiving warm congratulations from the Group for their contribution to this first meeting of the WG. Selection of a list of priority species/genera The Group agreed that it should concentrate its short-term activities on a small number of species/genera of importance to all and considered as needing urgent attention. A list of priority species /genera will be elaborated according to the workplan indicated below. The methodology developed for these priority species/genera (e.g. inventory of existing material in situ and ex situ, definition of characterization descriptors, establishment of a database, etc.) will serve as a model for other species and will encourage appropriate activities to be carried out on MAPs at national level. Workplan 1. Each country representative will send a list of 30 species/genera important at national level to the Vice-Chair of the WG by the end of October 2002. The list should be accompanied by background information on the selection criteria used. 2. After analyzing the national lists received, the Vice-Chair will select 10 species/genera and will circulate this priority list to all WG members by the end of December 2002. 8 Note: the identification of the priority species will take in consideration (i) the CITES convention 9 ; and (ii) the subregional distribution of the species/genera in order to ensure a balanced geographical distribution. 6 FAO/IPGRI's Multi-crop passport descriptors (version 2, December 2001) are available on-line (http://www.ipgri.cgiar.org/system/page.asp?frame=catalogue/select.asp). 7 The document EURISCO Descriptors for uploading information from National Inventories to EURISCO was distributed at the meeting. The descriptors are also available on-line (http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/epgris/Tech_papers/EURISCO_Descriptors.doc). 8 Update at time of publication: the list of priority species has been elaborated and circulated to all members by the Vice-Chair (Appendix I). 9 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (http://www.cites.org).
10 WORKING GROUP ON MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS: FIRST MEETING Development of MAP descriptors for the priority list It was agreed that it would be more effective to make use of descriptor lists already available for species which have some degree of similarity to MAPs (e.g. IPGRI’s descriptors for Allium spp., Piper nigrum, Elettaria cardamomum). These would be modified in order to fit MAP specificities. To illustrate this, D. Baričevič presented a selection of relevant descriptors taken from Allium and cardamom lists. After discussion, the Group agreed on the following workplan: Workplan 1. Dea Baričevič, in consultation with V. Meglič, will prepare a proposal for a list of characterization descriptors, to be circulated to all WG members before the end of 2002. 2. After the priority list of species/genera has been identified by the Vice-Chair and validated by the Working Group, D. Baričevič will refine the descriptor list with regard to specific characters of the 10 selected species, and send back the proposed descriptor list to all WG members within two months after reception of the priority list of species/genera. 10 Inventory of MAP populations at national level On the basis of the priority list species, each member of the WG should make all possible efforts to ensure that an exhaustive survey of natural populations of the selected MAPs is carried out in her/his country, in order to provide information for a European MAP genetic resources inventory. Workplan At the next WG meeting, WG members will report progress on surveys made in their country and the responsible institute for compiling the European inventory will be defined. Research/training activities Recommendations • The Working Group encourages collaboration between national programmes working on the same plants/groups of plants. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the WG should facilitate collaboration and coordination of target teams. • The Working Group recognizes the need for the development of harmonized methodologies/protocols (sampling and conservation techniques, etc.) by the national and international research programmes. The Chair and Vice-Chair of the WG will seek funding from relevant international institutions. • The Working Group encourages the collectors to provide specimens to the national herbarium collections. 10 A provisional list of descriptors has been elaborated according to the decisions made at the first meeting of the Working Group on MAPs and will be available on-line at http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/Workgroups/Med_aromatic/med_aromatic.htm. This list is adapted from other descriptor lists produced by IPGRI. It is not final but represents a proposal open for discussion at the next Working Group meeting.
