Besedilo protokola se v izvirniku v angleškem in prevodu v slovenskem jeziku glasi: The Parties to this Supplementary Protocol, Being Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Diversity, hereinafter referred to as “the Protocol”, Taking into account Principle 13 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, Reaffirming the precautionary approach contained in Principle 15 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, Recognizing the need to provide for appropriate response measures where there is damage or sufficient likelihood of damage, consistent with the Protocol, Recalling Article 27 of the Protocol, Have agreed as follows: The objective of this Supplementary Protocol is to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, by providing international rules and procedures in the field of liability and redress relating to living modified organisms. 1. The terms used in Article 2 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”, and Article 3 of the Protocol shall apply to this Supplementary Protocol. 2. In addition, for the purposes of this Supplementary Protocol: (a) “Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Protocol” means the Conference of the Parties to the Convention serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Protocol; (b) “Damage” means an adverse effect on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity, taking also into account risks to human health, that: (i) Is measurable or otherwise observable taking into account, wherever available, scientifically-established baselines recognized by a competent authority that takes into account any other human induced variation and natural variation; and (ii) Is significant as set out in paragraph 3 below; (c) “Operator” means any person in direct or indirect control of the living modified organism which could, as appropriate and as determined by domestic law, include, inter alia, the permit holder, person who placed the living modified organism on the market, developer, producer, notifier, exporter, importer, carrier or supplier; (d) “Response measures” means reasonable actions to: (i) Prevent, minimize, contain, mitigate, or otherwise avoid damage, as appropriate; (ii) Restore biological diversity through actions to be undertaken in the following order of preference: a. Restoration of biological diversity to the condition that existed before the damage occurred, or its nearest equivalent; and where the competent authority determines this is not possible; b. Restoration by, inter alia, replacing the loss of biological diversity with other components of biological diversity for the same, or for another type of use either at the same or, as appropriate, at an alternative location. 3. A “significant” adverse effect is to be determined on the basis of factors, such as: (a) The long-term or permanent change, to be understood as change that will not be redressed through natural recovery within a reasonable period of time; (b) The extent of the qualitative or quantitative changes that adversely affect the components of biological diversity; (c) The reduction of the ability of components of biological diversity to provide goods and services; (d) The extent of any adverse effects on human health in the context of the Protocol. 1. This Supplementary Protocol applies to damage resulting from living modified organisms which find their origin in a transboundary movement. The living modified organisms referred to are those: (a) Intended for direct use as food or feed, or for processing; (b) Destined for contained use; (c) Intended for intentional introduction into the environment. 2. With respect to intentional transboundary movements, this Supplementary Protocol applies to damage resulting from any authorized use of the living modified organisms referred to in paragraph 1 above. 3. This Supplementary Protocol also applies to damage resulting from unintentional transboundary movements as referred to in Article 17 of the Protocol as well as damage resulting from illegal transboundary movements as referred to in Article 25 of the Protocol. 4. This Supplementary Protocol applies to damage resulting from a transboundary movement of living modified organisms that started after the entry into force of this Supplementary Protocol for the Party into whose jurisdiction the transboundary movement was made. 5. This Supplementary Protocol applies to damage that occurred in areas within the limits of the national jurisdiction of Parties. 6. Parties may use criteria set out in their domestic law to address damage that occurs within the limits of their national jurisdiction. 7. Domestic law implementing this Supplementary Protocol shall also apply to damage resulting from transboundary movements of living modified organisms from non-Parties. A causal link shall be established between the damage and the living modified organism in question in accordance with domestic law. 1. Parties shall require the appropriate operator or operators, in the event of damage, subject to any requirements of the competent authority, to: (a) Immediately inform the competent authority; (b) Evaluate the damage; and (c) Take appropriate response measures. 2. The competent authority shall: (a) Identify the operator which has caused the damage; (b) Evaluate the damage; and (c) Determine which response measures should be taken by the operator. 3. Where relevant information, including available scientific information or information available in the Biosafety Clearing-House, indicates that there is a sufficient likelihood that damage will result if timely response measures are not taken, the operator shall be required to take appropriate response measures so as to avoid such damage. 4. The competent authority may implement appropriate response measures, including, in particular, when the operator has failed to do so. 5. The competent authority has the right to recover from the operator the costs and expenses of, and incidental to, the evaluation of the damage and the implementation of any such appropriate response measures. Parties may provide, in their domestic law, for other situations in which the operator may not be required to bear the costs and expenses. 6. Decisions of the competent authority requiring the operator to take response measures should be reasoned. Such decisions should be notified to the operator. Domestic law shall provide for remedies, including the opportunity for administrative or judicial review of such decisions. The competent authority shall, in accordance with domestic law, also inform the operator of the available remedies. Recourse to such remedies shall not impede the competent authority from taking response measures in appropriate circumstances, unless otherwise provided by domestic law. 7. In implementing this Article and with a view to defining the specific response measures to be required or taken by the competent authority, Parties may, as appropriate, assess whether response measures are already addressed by their domestic law on civil liability. 8. Response measures shall be implemented in accordance with domestic law. 1. Parties may provide, in their domestic law, for the following exemptions: (a) Act of God or force majeure; and (b) Act of war or civil unrest. 2. Parties may provide, in their domestic law, for any other exemptions or mitigations as they may deem fit.

Pogodbenice tega dopolnilnega protokola, ki so pogodbenice Kartagenskega protokola o biološki varnosti h Konvenciji o biološki raznovrstnosti, v nadaljevanju ''protokol'', upoštevajo 13. načelo Deklaracije o okolju in razvoju iz Ria, ponovno potrjujejo previdnostni pristop iz 15. načela Deklaracije o okolju in razvoju iz Ria, priznavajo potrebo po zagotavljanju ustreznih odzivnih ukrepov, skladnih s protokolom, kadar je nastala škoda ali obstaja zadostna verjetnost nastanka škode, se sklicujejo na 27. člen protokola, so se sporazumele:

Cilj tega dopolnilnega protokola je prispevati k ohranjanju in trajnostni uporabi biološke raznovrstnosti ob upoštevanju tveganja za zdravje ljudi z uvedbo mednarodnih pravil in postopkov na področju odgovornosti in nadomestil v zvezi z živimi spremenjenimi organizmi.

1. V tem dopolnilnem protokolu se uporabljajo izrazi iz 2. člena Konvencije o biološki raznovrstnosti, v nadaljevanju ''konvencija'', in 3. člena protokola. 2. Poleg tega v tem dopolnilnem protokolu: (a) ''konferenca pogodbenic kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola'' pomeni konferenco pogodbenic konvencije kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola; (b) ''škoda'' pomeni škodljiv vpliv na ohranjanje in trajnostno uporabo biološke raznovrstnosti ob upoštevanju tveganja za zdravje ljudi, ki: (i) je merljiv ali ga je mogoče drugače ugotoviti ob upoštevanju znanstveno vzpostavljenih izhodiščnih stanj, če so ta na voljo in jih priznava pristojni organ, tako da upošteva vsako drugo odstopanje, ki ga povzroči človek, in naravno odstopanje, ter (ii) je znaten, kot je to določeno v tretjem odstavku; (c) ''upravljavec'' pomeni osebo, ki posredno ali neposredno nadzira živi spremenjeni organizem in bi lahko, če je to primerno in to določa notranja zakonodaja, med drugim vključevala imetnika dovoljenja, osebo, ki je dala na trg živi spremenjeni organizem, razvijalca, proizvajalca, prijavitelja, izvoznika, uvoznika, prevoznika ali dobavitelja; (d) "odzivni ukrepi" pomenijo razumna dejanja za: (i) preprečevanje, zmanjšanje na najnižjo mogočo raven, zadrževanje, blaženje nastanka škode ali drugačno izogibanje nastanku škode, kot je primerno; (ii) obnovitev biološke raznovrstnosti z dejanji, izvedenimi po naslednjem prednostnem vrstnem redu: a. obnovitev biološke raznovrstnosti na stanje, kot je bilo pred nastankom škode, ali čim enakovrednejše stanje, in, kadar pristojni organ določi, da to ni mogoče, b. obnovitev med drugim z nadomestitvijo izgube biološke raznovrstnosti z drugimi sestavinami biološke raznovrstnosti za isto ali drugo vrsto uporabe na istem, ali kot je primerno, na nadomestnem kraju. 3. ''Znaten'' škodljiv vpliv se določi na podlagi dejavnikov, kot so: (a) dolgoročnost ali stalnost spremembe, ki se razume kot sprememba, ki se z naravno obnovo ne bo odpravila v razumnem časovnem obdobju; (b) obsežnost sprememb kakovosti ali količine, ki škodljivo vplivajo na sestavine biološke raznovrstnosti; (c) zmanjšanje sposobnosti sestavin biološke raznovrstnosti za zagotavljanje blaga in storitev; (d) obseg škodljivih vplivov na zdravje ljudi v smislu protokola.

1. Dopolnilni protokol se uporablja za škodo, ki je nastala zaradi čezmejnega gibanja živih spremenjenih organizmov. Živi spremenjeni organizmi so tisti, ki so namenjeni za: (a) neposredno uporabo kot hrana ali krma ali pa za predelavo; (b) uporabo v zaprtih sistemih; (c) nameren vnos v okolje. 2. Pri namernem čezmejnem gibanju se dopolnilni protokol uporablja za škodo, nastalo zaradi dovoljene uporabe živih spremenjenih organizmov iz prvega odstavka. 3. Dopolnilni protokol se uporablja tudi za škodo, nastalo zaradi nenamernih čezmejnih gibanj iz 17. člena protokola, in škodo, nastalo zaradi nezakonitih čezmejnih gibanj iz 25. člena protokola. 4. Dopolnilni protokol se uporablja za škodo, nastalo zaradi čezmejnega gibanja živih spremenjenih organizmov, ki se je začelo po začetku veljavnosti dopolnilnega protokola za pogodbenico, v pristojnost katere je bilo to čezmejno gibanje izvedeno. 5. Dopolnilni protokol se uporablja za škodo, nastalo na območjih, ki so v okviru omejitev državne pristojnosti pogodbenic. 6. Pogodbenice lahko uporabljajo merila, določena v njihovi notranji zakonodaji za obravnavo škode, nastale v okviru omejitev njihove državne pristojnosti. 7. Notranja zakonodaja za izvajanje dopolnilnega protokola se uporablja tudi za škodo, nastalo zaradi čezmejnih gibanj živih spremenjenih organizmov iz nepogodbenic.

Vzročna zveza med škodo in živim spremenjenim organizmom se ugotavlja skladno z notranjo zakonodajo.

1. Pogodbenice zahtevajo, da v primeru nastanka škode ustrezen upravljavec ali upravljavci ob upoštevanju zahtev pristojnega organa: (a) nemudoma obvestijo pristojni organ; (b) ocenijo škodo in (c) sprejmejo ustrezne odzivne ukrepe. 2. Pristojni organ: (a) ugotovi, kateri upravljavec je povzročil škodo; (b) oceni škodo in (c) določi, katere odzivne ukrepe naj upravljavec sprejme. 3. Kadar ustrezne informacije, vključno z razpoložljivimi znanstvenimi informacijami ali razpoložljivimi informacijami v Uradu za izmenjavo informacij, kažejo, da obstaja zadostna verjetnost, da bo nastala škoda, če ne bodo sprejeti pravočasni odzivni ukrepi za njeno preprečitev, se od upravljavca zahteva, da sprejme ustrezne odzivne ukrepe, da jo prepreči. 4. Ustrezne odzivne ukrepe lahko izvede tudi pristojni organ, še zlasti kadar tega ne naredi upravljavec. 5. Pristojni organ lahko od upravljavca zahteva povrnitev stroškov in izdatkov ter v zvezi s tem ocenitev škode in izvedbo ustreznih odzivnih ukrepov. Pogodbenice pa lahko v svoji notranji zakonodaji določijo primere, ko od upravljavca ni treba zahtevati povrnitve stroškov in izdatkov. 6. Odločitve pristojnega organa, da mora upravljavec sprejeti odzivne ukrepe, morajo biti utemeljene. Upravljavec je o njih uradno obveščen. Notranja zakonodaja zagotovi pravna sredstva, vključno z možnostjo upravne ali sodne presoje takih odločitev. Pristojni organ v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo upravljavca obvesti tudi o razpoložljivih pravnih sredstvih. Uporaba takih pravnih sredstev pristojnemu organu ne preprečuje, da v ustreznih okoliščinah sprejema odzivne ukrepe, razen če notranja zakonodaja ne določa drugače. 7. Pri izvajanju tega člena lahko pogodbenice zaradi opredelitve posebnih odzivnih ukrepov, ki jih zahteva ali sprejme pristojni organ, po potrebi ocenijo, ali so odzivni ukrepi že obravnavani v notranji zakonodaji o civilni odgovornosti. 8. Odzivni ukrepi se izvajajo v skladu z notranjo zakonodajo.

1. Pogodbenice lahko v notranji zakonodaji določijo naslednje izjeme: (a) naravna nesreča ali višja sila in (b) vojna ali civilni nemiri. 2. Pogodbenice lahko v notranji zakonodaji določijo izjeme ali ublažitve, ki se jim zdijo primerne.

Pogodbenice lahko v notranji zakonodaji določijo: (a) relativne in/ali absolutne roke, vključno za dejanja, povezana z odzivnimi ukrepi; (b) začetek obdobja, na katero se rok nanaša.

Pogodbenice lahko v notranji zakonodaji določijo finančne omejitve za povrnitev stroškov in izdatkov, ki so povezani z odzivnimi ukrepi.

Dopolnilni protokol ne omejuje pravice upravljavca, da od druge osebe zahteva povrnitev stroškov ali nadomestilo za škodo.

1. Pogodbenice obdržijo pravico, da v notranji zakonodaji določijo finančno jamstvo. 2. Pogodbenice uveljavljajo pravico iz prvega odstavka v skladu s svojimi pravicami in obveznostmi po mednarodnem pravu ob upoštevanju zadnjih treh odstavkov uvodnih določb protokola. 3. Prvo zasedanje Konference pogodbenic kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola po začetku veljavnosti dopolnilnega protokola zahteva, da sekretariat pripravi celovito študijo, ki med drugim obravnava: (a) popravke finančnih jamstvenih mehanizmov; (b) presojo okoljskih, gospodarskih in družbenih vplivov takih mehanizmov, še zlasti na države v razvoju, in (c) določitev ustreznih subjektov za zagotovitev finančnega jamstva.

Dopolnilni protokol ne vpliva na pravice in obveznosti držav po pravilih splošnega mednarodnega prava glede odgovornosti držav za mednarodno nedopustna ravnanja.

1. Pogodbenice v notranji zakonodaji določijo pravila in postopke za obravnavo škode. Za izpolnitev te obveznosti pogodbenice določijo odzivne ukrepe v skladu z dopolnilnim protokolom, in če je to primerno, lahko: (a) uporabijo obstoječo notranjo zakonodajo, vključno s splošnimi pravili in postopki o civilni odgovornosti, kadar je to primerno; (b) uporabijo ali razvijejo pravila in postopke o civilni odgovornosti posebej za ta namen ali (c) uporabijo ali razvijejo kombinacijo obeh. 2. Da bi pogodbenice zagotovile ustrezna pravila in postopke v notranji zakonodaji o civilni odgovornosti za materialno ali osebno škodo, povezano s škodo iz točke b drugega odstavka 2. člena: (a) še naprej uporabljajo svoje obstoječe splošne predpise o civilni odgovornosti; (b) razvijajo in uporabljajo ali še naprej uporabljajo predpise o civilni odgovornosti posebej za ta namen; (c) razvijajo in uporabljajo ali še naprej uporabljajo kombinacijo obeh. 3. Pri razvijanju zakonodaje o civilni odgovornosti iz točke b ali c prvega ali drugega odstavka tega člena pogodbenice, kadar je to primerno, med drugim obravnavajo naslednje elemente: (a) škodo; (b) standard odgovornosti, vključno z objektivno ali krivdno odgovornostjo; (c) usmerjanje odgovornosti, če je to primerno; (d) pravico do uveljavljanja zahtevkov.

Konferenca pogodbenic kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola opravi pregled učinkovitosti dopolnilnega protokola pet let po začetku njegove veljavnosti in potem vsakih pet let pod pogojem, da pogodbenice dajo na voljo informacije, potrebne za pregled. Pregled se opravi v smislu ocene in pregleda iz 35. člena protokola, razen če pogodbenice dopolnilnega protokola ne odločijo drugače. Prvi pregled zajema pregled učinkovitosti 10. in 12. člena.

1. Ob upoštevanju drugega odstavka 32. člena konvencije je konferenca pogodbenic kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola hkrati tudi zasedanje pogodbenic dopolnilnega protokola. 2. Konferenca pogodbenic kot zasedanje pogodbenic protokola redno pregleduje izvajanje dopolnilnega protokola in v skladu s svojimi pooblastili sprejema odločitve, potrebne za njegovo učinkovito izvajanje. Opravlja naloge, ki jih ima v skladu z dopolnilnim protokolom, smiselno pa tudi naloge iz točk a in f četrtega odstavka 29. člena protokola.

Sekretariat iz 24. člena konvencije je tudi sekretariat dopolnilnega protokola.

1. Dopolnilni protokol dopolnjuje protokol in ga ne spreminja. 2. Dopolnilni protokol ne vpliva na pravice in obveznosti pogodbenic dopolnilnega protokola iz konvencije in protokola. 3. Razen če dopolnilni protokol ne določa drugače, se določbe konvencije in protokola smiselno uporabljajo tudi za dopolnilni protokol. 4. Ne glede na tretji odstavek dopolnilni protokol ne vpliva na pravice in obveznosti pogodbenice po mednarodnem pravu.
