23 Feb '24

Liebe Alle Der Franzöische Saatgutverband SEMAE (früher GNIS) - der neben den Züchtern, die ganze Saatgutwertschöpfungskette vertritt, hat eine deutliche Position zu Patenten auf Saatgut formuliert. Ich denke, dies geht ganz in unsere Richtung. -> Semences et propriété intellectuelle Man kann es hier runterladen: https://www.semae.fr/comite-des-enjeux-societaux/# -> Avis Nr. 2. .. Ich überlassen anderen die Übersetzung .... Liebe Grüsse François

Allea zu Patenten
by Christoph Then 23 Feb '24

23 Feb '24

dear all ALLEA, which is an umbrella of European Academies and known for their advocacy for NGT plants, now came up with statement that also will be explained in a webinar 6 March (see press release). They do not offer any real solution, instead they warn about to re-open the EU Patent Directive. but they describe the problems.. this may be used to show that the EU is far away from a solution for patents on seeds ... cheers Christoph

IMPORTANT: Meeting of members, 4 April 2024
by Johanna Eckhardt 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Dear all, in the name of the board, I officially invite you to our meeting of members on 4 April 2024 in Munich, 9h-15.30h CET. Please find attached the draft agenda. Please come back with your first comments until 12 February. (The next board meeting is on 14 February). We'll send the final agenda and the documents latest until 21 March. If there are any changes of your financial contribution that we should take into consideration for the budget 2024, please let us know. PARTICIPATION Please let me know if you are going to participate (or if you would be interested to participate rather passively online). If you wont be able to participate, please let me know which other organisation will represent you at the meeting. TIME OF THE MEETING Since there was no majority for one of the timeslots proposed, I suggest that we hold the meeting from 9h-15.30h. That is a different time than last year so that we alternate preferences of different people. NEW BOARD We have to vote for a new board this year. We kindly invite you to present yourself as a candidate. Please come back to us until 12 February. The role of the board (following our Rules of Procedures) is: . examines the annual report (incl. financial report) of the Executive Director; . establishes a budget together with the Executive Director, which is subsequently brought before the Meeting of Members as a proposition; . concludes employment contracts with the Executive Director. We usually have around 3-4 online meetings each year with the board. Kind regards, Johanna Mag.

by Christoph Then 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

Dear all just to let you know we are planning to send our screaming vegetables to a demonstration in Strasbourg next week, in front of the European Parliament. The demonstration is against deregulation of NGTs and in this context also against patents on seeds. It fits to our story on lettuce and the hearing on the opposition that will take place on 7 February (same day as the vote in the EP). have a nice weekend Christoph
