I guess the final draft version which then will be presented in the workshop to external experts will be ready on 13. June. The workshop will take place on 15 June from 12,30-2,30 p.m (open for you, if want to participate, please let us know) we plan to officially publish the report on 29 of June with hand over to the EPO. in addition, we have a proposal from the EPO for a meeting on Tuesday, 5 July from 10-12.

! screaming barley
by Christoph Then 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Dear all, for our public activities, starting from end of June we were discussing to have a new visual (in addition and combination with broccoli and tomato). See attached first draft, what do you think? If we want to present it to the Admin council, we have to take quick decisions. costs seem to be around 3000 €, I try to get a detailed calculation. cheers Christoph

! overview on responses to our invitation for a workshop. Could we agree on 15 June, 12, 30-14, 30?
by Christoph Then 28 May '22

28 May '22

Dear all we have responses with interest in a meeting from Plantum, COPA/COGECA (Thor Gunnar), Ifoam, German Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Agriculture and Maria Noichl (EP) - very good. EPO has interest in the report (and they will get it ...) but will not participate. we proposed 13, 14 or 15. It looks like Plantum, German Ministry of Justice and Maria Noichl are available on all three days. Thor Gunnar could make it late afternoon on Monday, or Tuesday morning (and, I guess also on 15 June) Ifoam only on 13 June (before 5 p.m.), but, in case, may suggest other experts to (such as Bionext) German Ministry of Agriculture could make it on 13 till 12,30 I looks like on 13 June most experts could join, however, there is not sufficient overlap in time. I think most crucial for our meeting are Plantum, Copa and German Ministry of Justice. If Thor Gunnar has time on 15, we could try to meet around noon (as suggested by Maria Noichl) which seems to increase our chances compared to the small time slots we would have (with COPA) on Monday or Tuesday. so I am waiting for further response from Thor Gunnar and try to fix the day and the hour next week on Monday, latest Tuesday. I guess we also could expect some (other) expert from German Ministry of Agriculture if we finally announce the date. after that we also will invite experts / ministries from other contracting states. Finally we have to take a a decision when and to whom we want to send our report beforehand. Cheers Christoph

Update on next events
by Johanna Eckhardt 23 May '22

23 May '22

Dear all, we just had the German conference call and suggest the following adaptations to our plan: Between 26 and 28 June the G7 meeting will take place at Schloss Elmau / Bavaria. Big demonstrations are planned, one big demonstration on 25 June in Munich. See for example this article: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/g7-elmau-protest-demos-camp-garmisch-part enkirchen-1.5582968 So it will be very difficult for us to get media attention for the Administrative Council on 29 June. We propose to keep the public activity on 29 June very small, only ask the EPO for a meeting to hand over the report and take pictures with our banners and vegetable shields, but not put a lot of effort in it. Instead, we could use the meeting with the German ministry of Justice for a public activity. We aim for 4 July. (On 9 July they start their summer break). Let us know what you think.
