I have the honour to refer to Resolution 2/2019 on the Implementation and Operation of the Multilateral System, by which the Governing Body “request[ed] the Secretary to update the report on availability of material in the Multilateral System and the report on the transfer of the materials for the Ninth Session of the Governing Body.” The Governing Body also “request[ed] the Secretary to explore why many countries have not placed material in the Multilateral System and invite[d] Contracting Parties to share difficulties that may be encountered, or the needs for capacity building for placing material in the Multilateral System or in sharing germplasm with other Contracting Parties.”
