As a platform for information and discussion, the workshop will bring together stakeholders that can contribute to strengthening the movement against patents on conventional breeding in countries of strategic relevance in the European Patent Organisation's Administrative Council. The dates are now fixed as follows for the two-parts webinar series targeting the Ireland & UK region : v Technical training & legislative update: Friday 12th March 2021 from 09:00 until 11:00 am GMT (10:00 until 12:00 am CET) v Campaign history, current options & next steps : Friday 19th March 2021 from 09:00 until 10:30 am GMT (10:00 until 11:30 am CET) The full (provisional) programme is attached to this email. You can register to both webinars using this link <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tvmpatA_TEWW3l73BK3-Ww> by 9th March 2020 : https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_tvmpatA_TEWW3l73BK3-Ww After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar(s). Do not hesitate to forward this email to individuals and organisations engaged in seed saving, farming, or other parts of the food chain, as well as civil society movements with an interest and expertise in food systems, corporate control, or seed policy in Ireland & the United Kingdom. Get in touch with me or with Katherine DOLAN (Katherine.dolan(a)arche-noah.at <mailto:Katherine.dolan@arche-noah.at> ) if you have any questions.

report revised
by Christoph Then 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

dear all please see attached revised version, after comments from Francois, Katherine, Johanna and Ruth (thanks!!). I still have to integrate some minor comments from Erling which I just found in my mails (anybody else overlooked? let me know). I still have to fix some details in the figures. I will send another mail to Francois because I did not take on board all his suggestions. substantial changes are marked in yellow (as well as the reference to the figures - sorry for potential confusion). I thought I could sent already an edited version today. However there was some problem with the editor, it looks like she was not aware of the task till this weekend. Sorry for this, the mail with the last draft was already sent a week before. things happen. I just try to find out about the delay in our plan, maybe the 11 March becomes more realistic for public activity. I will let you know. we still have to run a German translation of the summary. cheers Christoph

Schon mehr als 220 #Patent|e auf Pflanzen und Tiere aus herkömmlicher Züchtung hat das Europäische Patentamt erteilt, obwohl das eigentlichgar nicht erlaubt ist. Fordere jetzt den Präsidenten des @EPOorg auf, Patente auf Leben zu stoppen! https://t.co/nn9obPAQmA Read more at Twitter <<https://twitter.com/HannesJaenicke/status/1361938300408332288>>https://twitter.com/HannesJaenicke/status/1361938300408332288> also Johanna has - see attached :-)
