dear all

in follow up to our the meeting on 16 May, I would like to highlight the following dates and ask if we all agree:

(1) we plan to present the outcome of our report (officially called 'draft') on 13 or 14 of June (maybe 15) in a workshop with breeders (Plantum), Copa/Cogeca and experts from contracting states. This event will be online and likely to take place in the morning. This means we will alert and invite and maybe also allow some experts to read the report beforehand. We expect that this workshop will give more weight to our report. It will b a closed workshop, not open for the public.

(2) we then will develop some media strategy to publish the report by taking into account the reactions from the workshop

(3) we then will have a public activity in front of the EPO on 29 of June. We will hand over the report, highlight our petition and present some visuals (like 'crying barley plants')

(4) we then send the final reports to the governments an visit some of them (starting in Germany).

in case we agree, who would be willing to participate in the workshop?

who would join the public activity on 29 of June?

do you think we should mobilise in public for the activity on 29 of June?

thanks for your feedback!

In addition please also come back to the questions of Johanna on a physical meeting of our members.

Christoph
