! Talk with KWS on 25 November
by Christoph Then 07 Nov '22

07 Nov '22

Dear all as mentioned, I called KWS and asked them for a meeting before 6 December. We now have an invitation for a meeting on 25 November (time is not yet fixed). I suppose we should do it online if several experts from our side want to participate. Otherwise we also could try to meet them physically. They also would like to know about which patents we want to talk. So I guess I will send them the list and case studies (part of the report, but maybe not the whole report). Please come back to me till Thursda with your comments and suggestions. cheers Christoph

dear all we now have some more dates for our planned activities: on 23 November we will be in Berlin at the Ministry to present the petition (but it is likely there will be no handover) on 6 December we go to Einbeck / KWS on 12 December there will be a handover in Switzerland on 13 December we organise handover to the Admin Council at the EPO in Munich. There might be an additional hand over in Austria, not yet decided. Tommy will coordinate as announced. We have scenarios for the activities involving the screaming plants, a symbolic presentation of signatures (with the overall number and logos) and around 250.000 (organic) maize kernels, representing the number of signatures (in 38 packages for the 38 member states). We also prepare a report on KWS patents to be presented in time. we now will organise several working groups for the different activities, to mobilise participants. We will also include WeMove into these preparations. so please let us know if you can help us with activists or other input for the different activities. We would be very happy if we could get support in Berlin (AbL, GeN, BUND, WeMove ...?), Einbeck (AbL, GeN, BUND, WeMove, Dachverband Kulturpflanzen, IG gegen Nachbaugebühren ...?) and Munich (Umweltinstitut, BN, Kein Patent auf Leben, WeMove ...?) cheers Christoph PS please register at Johanna for our workshop in EU Parliament on 16 November.
