Press Release of the European Coordination Via Campesina

(Brussels, Tuesday, May 7)  The European Commission adopted a proposal on Seed Regulations yesterday morning¹.This proposal is now in the hands of the European Parliament and the Council.
 The European Coordination Via Campesina (ECVC) denounces this incredible gift to patents and property rights of the agribusiness industry.

This proposal represents a violent assault on farmers’ and gardeners’ rights. Bureaucratic control is being reinforced, and the only outcome will be to definitively kill biodiversity.


This result is therefore the opposite of the reasons put forward by the Commission to reform the existing legislation, namely a need for administrative simplification and protection of biodiversity.
