Dear all,
I just found a very interesting document on the EPO homepage from the president to the Patent Law Committee in Nov. 2021.
ENGLISH: Exception to patentability under Article 53(b) and Rule 28(2) EPC of plants and animals exclusively obtained by means of an essentially biological process following opinion G 3/19 of the Enlarged Board of Appeal Situation report

GERMAN: Patentierbarkeitsausschluss von ausschließlich durch im Wesentlichen biologische Verfahren gewonnene Pflanzen und Tiere gemäß Artikel 53 b) und Regel 28 (2) nach der Stellungnahme G 3/19 der Großen Beschwerdekammer Sachstandsbericht https://www.epo.org/modules/epoweb/acdocument/epoweb2/554/de/CA-PL_3-21_de.p df
Attached a German version, were I highlighted the most relevant parts, but most of the document is interesting for us.
Best, Johanna
