Dear Christoph, dear all,

Thanks a lot for the proposed agenda, it looks like a very promising event!

Johanna’s agenda looks like we can discuss the event during Thursday’s call, but some ideas right now (we had a brief discussion with Katherine and Fulya):

- I think even now that the timing of the New GE regulation has (most likely) changed, it’s good to have the Testbiotech part in the event. But switching from non-GE/NPOS to CRISPR and back again (1+3) seems very challenging for people who are not totally into debates. Maybe combining 1+3 for the start + then 2 + then the debate would be easier to follow for politicians?

- Because the people mentioned under 4. usually like to talk a lot ;) maybe 45min contributions, 15min discussion? Since it could be a heated discussion, and it would be good to have someone strong on arguments and technical details there, too - maybe you could join the panel and someone else from NPOS take over the presentation part, since it can be well prepared?

We could volunteer to do the presentation if needed, but there are many other options, e.g. François, Johanna.

Best, Dagmar

-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Npos_2018 npos_2018-bounces@testbiotech.de Im Auftrag von Christoph Then Gesendet: Mittwoch, 5. April 2023 08:35 An: npos_2018@testbiotech.de Betreff: [Npos_2018] ! proposal for program of workshop on 6 of June in the EP

Dear all,

we have the opportunity to hold a workshop in EU Parliament on 6 of June

to present our new report. The host will be Martin Häusling / Greens, we

will look for further MEPs to become Co-Hosts.

To agree with the office of Häusling, I have to provide a draft

program. Since just the next day, the EU Commission might come up with

some proposal on New GE regulation, we also could address CRISPR Patents

as discussed in our annual meeting.

these are my preliminary ideas (for two hours):

Welcome

1. NPOS: Presenting new report (20 Minutes)

2. Testbiotech: Presenting recent findings from CRISPR patents (some

additional research) (10 Minutes)

3. NPOS: the legal situation and the role of the EU (10 Minutes - this

might be my part)

4. Contributions from the panel (MEPs, COPA/COGECA, Euroseeds, organic

breeders, EPO, Commission, Experts from Member States) (30 Minutes)

5. General Discussion (30 Minutes)

Final words

please come back with your questions, comments and suggestions.

Christoph
