Thanks Dagmar,
I am not in a hurry, however we will need the resolution in time, before the December meeting of the Admin Council. We have to prepare it during summer break, if we want to have a chance.
you did not miss a lot in during last weeks. I could not get any information on the outcome of the June meeting. Maybe you can.
But if were listening to the conference yesterday, you might have received a similar message as me:
My learning from the conference yesterday was: there was some interesting support on our arguments.
However: it is not clear if we have support from German government and if so, it is likely to be weak. Situation in Austria unclear, we still need a meeting with the minister. No support from the EU Commission. The EPA not interested in any changes. The German breeders association in a wait and see position. German farmers organisation not likely to get active. Huge lobby from industry.
There is not very much left to support our demands from the political institutions. Our goals for this year may be unlikely to be achieved.
So we have to see what we can do ... as long as Mr Ernst & Co can say that, besides no patents on seeds, everybody is happy with the situation, we will not gain success.
happy to receive more comments

Hi Christoph,
I have noted a resolution as a possible option during todays conference as well.
But I would really prefer to have a bit of a discussion before that, what our learnings of today's conference are more generally (and reflect a bit on it myself) and how to move forward, ideally in the next call or if necessary in an ad hoc call before.
I was just on a break for several weeks, so please correct me if this has changed and I overlooked important decisions!, but I understood that we agreed during the members meeting in spring that we would wait for outcomes of the June admin council + conference and then reassess if our current strategy works, or what we need/want to focus on.
I don't have anything against contacting the Greens specifically, but for me after today's conference there is a lot of food for thought, I'd love to discuss before moving ahead, including the focus of our argumentation and what individual members, and AN specifically, can do to support.
Cheers, Dagmar

after getting notice of the des-interest of the EU Commission and Mr Ernst telling us that the EU is happy with the current status, we should work on a new resolution of EU Parliament.
if you have any thoughts on this let me know, otherwise I might try to approach the Greens.
