Article 4. This decision has the effect after 15 days from the date of signing.
 
The REGULATIONS on the MANAGEMENT and CONSERVATION of GENETIC RESOURCES of PLANTS, ANIMALS and MICROORGANISMS (attached to decision No. 2117/1997/QD-BKHCN & MT on December 30, 1997) the conservation of genetic resources, keeping animals, plants and micro-organisms genetic resources protection is aimed to provide Starter hydro resources to serve scientific research , improving the breed, make sure to maintain the biological diversity and the essential premise of biological resources for the sustainable agriculture development at present and in the future.
 
I. GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. Genetic resources are defined in this regulation is the complete living organisms or parts of living they carry genetic information biology has the ability to create or participate in creating new varieties of plants, animals and micro-organisms.
2. Genetic resources of plants, animals and microorganisms is a national resource and is a critical component in the protection of biological diversity, serves for research activities and scientific and economic development of the sectors: agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food industry , health.
3. Conservation, storing genetic resources are conducted in many different forms (Insitu, Exsitu, On-Farm, in vivo, in vitro) at the base, held, the other economic sectors (including private) and linked into a network under the unified management of the Ministry of science , Technology and the environment.
 
II. content MANAGEMENT for the CONSERVATION of GENETIC RESOURCES, keeping: 1. Investigation, survey and collect genetic resources appropriate to the nature and characteristics of each plant, and microorganism.
2. safety and long-term conservation of the genetic resources collected are compatible with a specific biological properties of each object should hold, technical level, the ability of devices the Agency has the task of keeping the scale should preserve.
3. Evaluation of the genetic resources under the specific biological targets consistent with the object.
4. Material Culture: the source of the gene after the reviews must be in a form of customized data: survey, adventure descriptions, guest reviews, drawing votes, distribution map, photograph, information publications, catalogs or building information database.
5. Exchange of information and genetic resources should be conducted regularly among agencies involved in the system of conservation, held at the same time provide information about the genetic resources for scientific agencies, when production needs. Case of need can exchange with foreign countries but must be the competent agency approved.
 
III. the OBJECTS PRESERVATION, SHOULD BE KEPT: 1. Prioritizing the precious, rare genetic resources particularities of Vietnam and is in danger of being lost.
2. The genetic resources have been evaluated the biological indicators.
3. The genetic resources needed for research, breeding and hybridization in service training.
4. The genetic resources are imported from abroad have been stabilized and domesticated in Vietnam, has important implications in the production.
 
IV. IMPLEMENTATION: 1. Management and conservation activities, keeping are conducted on genetic resources nationwide. The system of the agency involved in the conservation of genetic resources, keeping the Ministry, local branches are linked into a network of agencies to conserve, preserve genetic resources and put under the unified management of the Ministry of science, technology and the environment.
2. managing and operating the network of conservation bodies, including genetic resources held the following: guidance, planning and organizing the review of the project to conserve, preserve genetic resources every year to the leaders of ministries, local and the Ministry of science, technology and the environment.
Organized for the agencies involved in the system register type genes are preserved, stored in the body that under the general scheme and the scheme approved in the year of the target amount, specific quality.
Build number of annual inspections preservation planning, retention of genetic resources to guide the ministries, local plan.
Every year, the Ministry of science, technology and environment guide of scientific planning, technology and the environment in which the plan for the conservation of genetic resources, keeping plants, animals and micro-organisms. On that basis, the ministries, local guides and General needs of conservation of genetic resources, keeping the implementers sent the Ministry of science, technology and environment, along with the entire plan of the science, technology and environment of the following year. The conservation plan, keep genetic resources must be discussed in the meeting discussed the plan of ministries, local and General leaders of the Ministry of science, technology and the environment with the other content approval of plan of science, technology and the environment.
Check the active hand, urging the Agency to join conservation systems, preserve. In case of need, when the Agency does not accept the terms of this regulation or is not qualified to undertake the task, you can suggest leadership Ministry of science, technology and environment, suspend or transfer the task to other bodies.
3. Science, technology and environment of the province, the city needs preserving genetic resources, keeping the local endemic themselves would be the agency mission: Help people Committee the province, city construction plan, put into the plan for science, technology and the environment of the locality and the comprehensive management of the conservation genetic resources, keeping in the local scope after the plan is approved.
In collaboration with the unit of the Ministry of science presiding, technology and the environment to unify the management of the conservation of genetic resources, by sector and region.
4. The tasks of the Agency to join the network of conservation, storing genetic resources: management and implementation of the content specified in part II of this regulation on the overall quality and quantity of genetic resources was browsing in the scheme (including coordinating agency that genetic resources conservation , store).
5. The ministries, local: build the project overall conservation, kept in the field of genetic resources by the Agency.
Managing the ministries, provincial people's Committee, the city has a duty to register with the Ministry of science, technology and the environment of the specific amount of the types of genetic resources are being kept in the units according to the specifications prescribed for each category.
Annual planning and reporting specifically on genetic resources management situation in the unit are preserved, kept sending to the Ministry of science, technology and the environment.

Training technical guide and gene resource management services for the technical staff and the coordination unit.
Periodic reports as requested by the governing body.

The institutions of science, technology, production and business establishments, personal ... in the ministries, local conditions of infrastructure, engineering can handle the task of preserving, storing genetic resources of plant, animal and micro-organism in the narrow field of expertise of the , local branches themselves but must be approved and subjected to management, the direction of the Agency's expertise.
 
V. annual FINANCIAL RESOURCES the ministries, local financial planning for the conservation of genetic resources, keeping the budget from science, technology and the environment. The Ministry of science, technology and environment will review and delivery of annual targets for the project to conserve, preserve genetic resources in the Ministry, local branches into a category of science, technology and the environment.
The ministries, localities should create conditions to attract other sources of capital to serve the conservation of genetic resources, keeping. Enlist the financial resources of international organizations to staff training, exchange of experts, international seminar, in cooperation with international organizations, with the countries in the region and investigate the same international , collection, exchange of genetic resources and to supplement the equipment, investigation, preservation, documentation, retention and exchange of information.
