Dear all,
great idea. I also would prefer COPA as an additional stakeholder.
Best,

Dear all
last week, we had a nice exchange with Maria Noichl, Social Democrats, Member of EU Parliament.
we are now planning for a workshop in EU Parliament organised by MEPs in second half of November. On later stage, we might try to start a resolution.
To support the plans, we promised to send a draft program by this week.
Please see my draft attached.
I think we should plan for two hours.
I suggest to invite (in addition to the brewers) at least one stakeholder which is not part of no patents on seeds, but likely to support our demands. Possible stakeholders are COPA/COGECA (supporting our petition), Plantum (but maybe mixed messages) or the EPO (but we would not have any control on their input). I suggest Thor Kofoed /COPA.
For the part of the brewers I try to get an expert from German brewers association (biggest one) which is also involved in programs for breeding barley. But it is not clear if this will work.
please send your comments till Wednesday. After that I will send it to Maria. She may propose some further changes. After that (If we agree on it) she will use the program to approach other MEPs to invite for the workshop. Further changes may be suggested.
thanks for your input
Christoph
