Key features of AEGIS
1. Membership Agreement2. Organizational structure3. European Collection (MAAs)4. Quality standards (AQUAS)5. Information system (EURISCO)
Fourth Meeting of the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Working Group – 29 September -1 October 2009 – Kuşadası, Turkey
European Collection (key principles)
• A virtual genebank
• Availability of accessions and information to bona fide users
• Central coordination (crop-wise), but decentralized management
• Technical guidelines to be established for each crop genepool

Scope of European Collection Scope of European Collection
• Material under the management and control of the member countries and their associate members, in the public domainand offered by the associate members for inclusion into AEGIS
• Genetically unique within AEGIS, to the best available knowledge (i.e. genetically distinct accessions; assessment based on available data and/or on the recorded history of the accession)
• Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture as defined in the International Treaty as well as medicinal and ornamentalspecies
• European origin or introduced germplasm that is of actual or potential importance to Europe (for breeding, research, education or for historical and cultural reasons).
Fourth Meeting of the Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Working Group – 29 September -1 October 2009 – Kuşadası, Turkey
Establishment of the European Establishment of the European Collection Collection
• AEGIS Members propose European Accessions
• Working Groups analyze proposals and recommend the Most Appropriate Accessions
• AEGIS Members register accessions as European Accessions into EURISCO

AEGIS and MAPsAEGIS and MAPs
• MAP ex situ accessions can be offered to be designated as European Collection accessions
• MAP WG may be involved in identifying Most Appropriate Accessions as well as in defining quality standards for conservation
• Since MAP WG is more focused on in situ populations, it may not need to get heavily involved at the beginning of the AEGIS establishment, but wait and see the example of other WGs
