EU seed laws

[BFG Central]

I stand corrected.
As you say a lot of that info is just what iv read on the net.
Been a while since iv had a telling off and im not to big to be corrected.

A couple of point i would like to say without looking like im trying to create an argument.
Some farmers i know do produced there own seed for fodder crops year after year to feed there animals. They also plant food crops from seed they have produced. I dont know they legality of this?
I was trying to highlight the control the seed companies hold over us already.
A lot of people dont realise the control these companies hold over us already and how important it is to have your own seeds to grow.
The new seed laws are being brought into force by the big seed companies for them to profit and to make it harder for the smaller guys to compete. In no way are they being made to help any of us, its all about greed and control.
Like you say they were trying to make every seed company licence every different type of seed and that looks like it will happen. Even if that is done on a self certification.
This will still restrict what seeds are available now and in the future.
One way or the other its not good.
You seem to have done more research than myself on a lot of subjects.

If it boiled down to what report i would believe i usually pick the underdog even if he lost a court case to a billion dollar seed company.
But thats just me.

Regarding tesco, My Ex misses worked for them and they were banned/restricted from buying land close to there stores. I dont know the exact legal restrictions that were imposed?
My comments about tesco were totally off topic and shouldnt have diluted the content of this important thread. Sorry NorthernRaider.

My point is seed sales will be restriced/reduced and the prices will rise.
Squeezing the little man in the street even more.
