Dear all

we have responses with interest in a meeting from Plantum, COPA/COGECA (Thor Gunnar), Ifoam, German Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Agriculture and Maria Noichl (EP) - very good.

EPO has interest in the report (and they will get it ...) but will not participate.

we proposed 13, 14 or 15.

It looks like Plantum, German Ministry of Justice and Maria Noichl are available on all three days.

Thor Gunnar could make it late afternoon on Monday, or Tuesday morning (and, I guess also on 15 June)

Ifoam only on 13 June (before 5 p.m.), but, in case, may suggest other experts to (such as Bionext)

German Ministry of Agriculture could make it on 13 till 12,30

I looks like on 13 June most experts could join, however, there is not sufficient overlap in time. I think most crucial  for our meeting are Plantum, Copa and German Ministry of Justice. If Thor Gunnar has time on 15, we could try to meet around noon (as suggested by Maria Noichl) which seems to increase our chances compared to the small time slots we would have (with COPA) on Monday or Tuesday.

so I am waiting for further response from Thor Gunnar and try to fix the day and the hour next week on Monday, latest Tuesday. I guess we also could expect some (other) expert from German Ministry of Agriculture if we finally announce the date.

after that we also will invite experts / ministries from other contracting states.

Finally we have to take a a decision when and to whom we want to send our report beforehand.

Cheers

Christoph
