this sentence needs to be corrected (I think we did it already) ban on patents on conventional breeding would be extremely urgent.

Dear Johanna and Christoph

Thanks a lot for sharing. I read the press release with interest - in particular, reflections in regard with the ongoing discussions on the regulation on NGT. I find it important to shed some light on these aspects. However, at the beginning of the last paraph there is one sentence I can't understand: 
"An initiative to ban conventional breeding would be extremely serious: if there is no clear and legally secure interpretation of the prohibitions, corporations, such as Bayer and Corteva, BASF and Syngenta, will soon be able to control all seeds – produced with or without genetic engineering". 

Best, 

Simon

Dear all

we lost a further opposition (but were invited to appeal..)

Johanna will now publish the negative outcome and also post on X. If you have time it might be good idea, to retweet and tagg members of Parliament which today will vote on NGTs.

cheers

Christoph
