Done here as well. A hugely important issue, how dare they try to take away the right to grow our own seeds

If it passes I guess I'll just become an outlaw. But then again I'd love to see them try and police it.

Signed and emailed. Thanks for highlighting this. The loss of seed diversity would be bad enough, as would the loss of the right of growers to choose unregistered open-pollinated varieties, but also I presume tiny companies such as Real Seeds would lose their livelihood overnight. That can't be right.

Is there actually any danger of this being passed? There is one EU Directorate pushing it without any sensible grounding and two in active opposition with damn good reason. Is it a realistic assumption that more than half of the EU will be stupid enough to vote for this madness?
