Such benefits are required to cover benefits from R&D, but not commercialization. The Treaty is overseen by a Governing Body composed of the 152 countries that have so far ratified it as of October 2014. The Governing Body is supported by a secretariat, located in Rome, Italy, which is part of a UN specialized agency, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This secretariat is also the body which administers the common fund for benefit sharing under this treaty.
