EU seed laws

[Grumpy Grandpa]

NR, I'd seen this before somewhere, can't remember where but I didn't realise until now, seeing the date of that meeting in your post (13 June), that it had already taken place. What I saw was similar, describing the purpose of the thing and providing access to the petition and at the time, I re-posted it on (the dreaded!) Facebook, asking contacts to sign and re-post themselves.

It seems now though, that the die will have been cast and whatever was carried in the vote, we're stuck with. Let's hope that those in positions of power actually did us a favour this time and stuck it to the multi-nationals () but it's hardly likely, is it?

The wrong result will mean as you say, for us, law breaking if we continue to swap or trade in, heritage varieties and for Monsanto and their competitors, another dependent market for not only their 'interfered with' seeds, with annual repeat sales (because of in-built sterility,) but for the dangerous (and deadly to wild life,) chemicals necessary to make the damn things productive. These greed-driven bastards will have won again AND with the eager assistance of our democratically elected dictators!

Bugger it - I'm angry...

Perhaps the successful gardeners in our membership might consider making an offer or two in the 'Shopping Precinct' section of the Forum that others can take advantage of?
