Dear readers,

At our Anuga fair booth, we had many interesting conversations and guests, including Cem Özdemir, German Federal Minister of Agriculture. He will now have to make some efforts to keep his promise to protect "Ohne Gentechnik" and the organic sector.

Because in the European Parliament's Environment and Agriculture Committee, the first steps towards deregulating genetic engineering could be taken in the next few weeks. Some Members of Parliament want to deregulate even further than the EU Commission and would even like to abolish the complete ban on genetic engineering in the organic sector.

Over the next few weeks, it will therefore be particularly important to once again point out to politicians at all levels what would be at stake if genetic engineering were to be deregulated.

Autumnal greetings
