  Hamdallah Zedan, executive secretary of the convention, said a challenge to establishing the ABS regime was resolving contradictions between the CBD and the World Trade Organisation's Trade Related Intellectual Property Agreements (Trips).
  
  In its present form, Trips would certainly undermine the implementation of the access and benefit-sharing provision of the CBD, he said, because Trips allocates full control of genetic resources to the patent holders.
  
  Governments and communities will have no means of regulating access or demanding a share of benefits because they will be subject to private ownership, said Mr Zedan.
