It is the @eppgroup.bsky.social rapporteur who doesn't want to advocate for Parliament's position in the negotiations. So far Council hasn't given anything to the @europarl.europa.eu at all. No labelling, no transparency, no breeders or farmers' rights on patents.

The African Centre for Biodiversity celebrates a landmark win against the govt of South Africa for approving MON 87460, a GM maize produced by Monsanto/Bayer. The final ruling puts an end to "the rubber-stamping of GMO approvals" and upholds SA's biosafety law. acbio.org.za/gm-biosafety...

No Patents on Seeds!: Safeguard the patent-free zone for classical plant breeding in Europe! - Bio Eco Actual
No Patents on Seeds! published a report on recently filed or granted European patents on classical plant breeding. One example is a patent on breeding of a native trait in tomatoes, just based on crossing and selection (EP3911147). Against this backdrop, No Patents on Seeds! is presenting a new proposal to clarify the provisions of the European patent law to…

Indeed, EU plant breeders & farmers face a framework on intellectual property rights that stifles innovation & harms biodiversity, especially w/increase of patented NGT plants.

Indeed, farmers reject the EU-Mercosur agreement and the unfair competition it will bring to farmers in the EU and in Mercosur countries! But farmers also oppose the proposal to deregulate new genomic techniques, which want to impose patented GMOs without any traceability and labeling

This proposal is incompatible with farmers' rights on seeds, and would simply legalize biopiracy by allowing the extension of the scope of patents to native seeds. This will only benefit to patent-holding multinationals, at the expense of European farmers, small seed breeders and agrobiodiversity

Indeed unwanted contamination will rapidly and repeatedly occur and it will be not reversible. As a geneticist and organic farmer, but more so as a mother feeding her children I cannot understand how this is not alarming and how it is not a political priority.
