Dear all,
the vote in the Environmental Committee of the European Parliament on Monday, 11 March, 19h CET, is a big opportunity to change the EU Patent Directive!
If the parliament adopts “Compromise Amendment 7 on Article 81a” (see attached), this would be a big improvement in regards to patents on conv. breeding!
Let’s take this opportunity and let’s try to contact the MEPs.
- We sent out an email to all MEPs of ENVI again today (see attached, feel free to use), but if you could contact MEPs you have a personal contact with (email/phone), this would be very helpful.
- Christoph and I won’t manage to follow up via phone, but Dagmar and Magdalena from ARCHE NOAH would highly recommend to do so! Maybe some of you can reach out via phone.
- I posted on Twitter. Please share and tag MEPs: www.twitter.com/nopatentsonseed
I will as well reach out to our partner organisations.
Please let me know if you need more detailed info.
Thanks to Magdalena and Dagmar for taking the initiative!
Kind regards,
Johanna
