! media release on Melons planned for next week, Wednesday (auch auf Deutsch)
by Christoph Then 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Dear all please see attached the slightly improved drafts for media release on Melons. So far there were not many reactions, however we think this is a nice case we should use to gain public attention (in case of interest in home gardens please read page 13, example 1). we now suggest to release it on Wednesday next week. We also could delay the release for one week if necessary. I also informed WeMOve and UIM so in case they also can use the material to push the petition. Along with the media release we also would publish our recent legal analysis on Art 53 (b). So please come back to us with comments, question or suggestions or just wait for the final media release to be sent out. Cheers Christoph
