SUMMARY REPORT OF THE MEETING 3 Adoption of the agenda and selection of the Chairperson for the meeting Dea Baričevič then presented the meeting agenda, which was accepted by the participants (see Appendix III). The group agreed that Dea Baričevič and Jenő Bernáth would co-chair the meeting during the first day, taking alternate roles as Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson. It was also agreed that on the second day, Wolfgang Kainz (Austria) and Zlatko Šatović (Croatia) would cochair the morning sessions, and Eli Putievsky (Israel) and Zlatko Šatović the afternoon sessions. Presentations The presentations given at the meeting are mentioned below in chronological order. Full papers, when available, are published in Part II of this report. The discussions held between the presentations and the ensuing recommendations made by the Group, leading to the elaboration of the workplan, are grouped and summarized in the section Discussion and Recommendations (see below, pages 8-11). Conservation of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) – needs and strategy The role of ECP/GR and IPGRI in MAP conservation On behalf of the ECP/GR Secretariat, Elinor Lipman provided some background information in the two following presentations: ECP/GR and the Working Group on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants For the benefit of the many participants who were attending an ECP/GR meeting for the first time, the historical background, overall purpose and current structure of the ECP/GR programme were presented 2 , with particular focus on the steps leading to the establishment of the Working Group on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants within the Minor Crops Network: • The recommendations of the Minor Crops Network Coordinating Group meeting in Turku, Finland, June 1999, were as follows: - Propose the establishment of a Working Group on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants to the Steering Committee - Dea Baričevič and Karl Hammer to develop a proposal for collaborative action, to be implemented in the context of a Working Group - Focal persons, in consultation with relevant experts, to identify crops/species for priority action, on the basis of agreed criteria for prioritization (risk of genetic erosion; economic importance; regional or subregional distribution; traditional knowledge in Europe) - Focal persons, in collaboration with experts from different parts of Europe, to compile information regarding: ex situ and in situ conservation status; distribution and level of utilization; list of experts/institutions; list of ongoing activities; elaboration of a conservation strategy to be proposed for further action. 2 Update at time of publication: the structure of the Programme has been re-defined by the ECP/GR Steering Committee during its end-of-phase VI meeting held 22-25 October 2003, Izmir, Turkey (see http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/Introduction/AboutECPGR.htm).
4 WORKING GROUP ON MEDICINAL AND AROMATIC PLANTS: FIRST MEETING • The proposal to establish a Working Group was developed by Dea Baričevič and Karl Hammer as recommended and presented successfully at the mid-term meeting of the ECP/GR Steering Committee (14-17 October 2001, St. Petersburg, Russian Federation). The SC recommended that a Working Group on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants be established and that a meeting of the Working Group be held in 2002, considering the recent developments and increasing interest in these species. • This present meeting is the concrete outcome of these recommendations. The activities listed in the proposal should form the basis for the development of the workplan of the WG on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs), now that it is formally established. These activities include: - An inventory of natural populations of MAPs - A review of the acreage of MAPs under cultivation - A review of legal issues for the conservation of MAPs - An assessment of the quantities of MAPs collected from the wild and encouragement of the use of cultivated MAPs - Preparation of a list of potentially endangered/rare/vulnerable MAP species - Developing a strategy for the future development of a MAP conservation strategy - Preparation of a proposal for submission to the 6th EU Framework Programme. The Web pages of the Minor Crops Network and of the Working Group on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants 3 were presented to the participants, who were invited to make comments and suggestions for their improvement. Other important outcomes of the ECP/GR Steering Committee mid-term meeting in October 2001 were mentioned: in order to develop a strategy for the next Phase (VII), two task forces composed of a few Steering Committee members were established to discuss (1) the impact on PGR of recent developments in science, technology and international policy; and (2) how genebanks might implement relevant international agreements and their impact on their operation. A questionnaire sent to all Working Group Chairs and National Coordinators is being used to sound out opinions on future priorities and mode of operation of ECP/GR, to be defined during the Steering Committee meeting planned for October 2003. • IPGRI's contribution to the conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plant species This presentation showed how the issue of MAP conservation fits into the global framework in which IPGRI operates. It was illustrated by the example of the IPGRI/IFAD project "Enhancing the contribution of neglected and underutilized species to food security, and to incomes of the rural poor". 4 This project, started in 2001, focuses specifically on MAPs in the Central and West and North Africa (CWANA) region, Andean grains in Latin America and nutritious millets in Asia. The MAP species/genera considered in the CWANA region are the following: Aloe spp. Cuminum cyminum Mentha piperita Boerhavia elegans Flemingia congesta Nigella spp. Capparis spp. Glycyrrhiza glabra Origanum syriacum Coriandrum sativum Lawsonia inermis Solenostemma arghel 3 http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/Workgroups/Med_aromatic/med_aromatic.htm 4 http://www.ipgri.cgiar.org/nus/docs/IFAD-NUS.doc
