Dear all,

I think it's very important that someone is involved in this New Task Force https://allea.org/allea-launches-new-task-force-to-investigate-the-intellectual-property-system-for-new-genomic-techniques/ to counterbalance. ALLEA is a "scientist" organisation that lobbies the European authorities very actively, emphasising their status as scientists and therefore "objective".

However, active members of ALLEA, such as R. Puigdomenech, who also participates in this Taskforce, have significant conflicts of interest with industry. ALLEA actively supports the deregulation of new GMOs.

I refer you to the very well documented report (in which I participated) "Behind the smokescreen Vested interests of EU scientists lobbying for GMO deregulation" published by the European Parliament Green Group in September.
