At the request of the Executive, Parliament approved the country's accession to the Budapest Treaty, which addresses the protection of inventions in biotechnology and consolidates the regulatory conditions that favor the creation of internationally valid institutions for depositing microorganisms.

The Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms, in force since 1977, is made up of 87 states, including Chile, Colombia, and Peru. The approval of the adhesion to the document was made by Parliament at the proposal of the Executive Branch, in July of this year. It is expected that this fact will provide a transparent regulatory framework and legal security for the scientific community, and add value to the international insertion of Uruguay.
