Proposal: NPOS to sign letter to EU Agri Ministers?
by ARCHE NOAH Dagmar Urban 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Dear all, We were asked by Global2000/Friends of the Earth if the NPOS coalition could sign a letter to the EU Agricultural ministers about patents. The letter has the debate in the Agri Council on New GMOs in November as the occasion for sending it, but covers both issues, patents on conventional seeds and patents on new GMOs. I commented on an earlier version of the letter, and sent it to Christoph for a first check. I think it would be great if NPOS signed, as so far we have very often two "divided" groups of organisations working on either patents on conventional seeds or on patents on New GMOs - and this time I think it's a perfect opportunity to join forces for a strong joint letter reminding the Agri ministers of our demands. The (confidential) almost final version is available here - there will only be one more ending sentence added + someone will proofread it: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Q8F3iatToyXdRRHLpAKRL5RHjQEzcS6tv3MTD1… If there are any major factual errors, those can of course still be changed. I have also attached a downloaded version for those of you boycotting Google. The aim of the letter is to have a short, 1 page high-level letter, with as little technical language as possible, signed by a few big and umbrella organisations (so NPOS, not individual NPOS members in our case; the same with IFOAM and Friends of the Earth, etc.), because of time constraints. Could you let the list know as soon as possible if you agree that NPOS should sign the letter or if you disagree?
