GMO FREE REGIONS, BIODIVERSITY AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE
________________________________________________________________


http://www.zs-l.de/conference

During the International Green Week in Berlin this two day conference will
bring together farmers, activists and experts, politicians, scientists,
lawyers and civil servants working for GMO free regions in Europe.
They will share information, experience and know-how and join forces to make
the cause for GMO-free regions heard in Brussels and in the capitals of
Europe.

Farmers, environmental and consumers organisations, companies, local and
regional authorities throughout Europe are looking for the best ways to
prevent the use of GMOs in their regions and in their products. Thousands of
communities have declared themselves GMO free in Austria, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Poland and the UK. Regional governments
have formed an alliance defending their right to stay GMO free. For the
different regions in Europe the use of GMOs touches fundamental issues of
their future rural development, their traditions, heritage and diversity as
well as economic and environmental sustainability.

WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?

Everybody interested and active in the field and speaking sufficient English
to follow the conference
(no simultaneous interpretation, but some language aid will be available):
* Active GMO free farmers and food producers
* Representatives of GMO free regions and communities
* Civil servants and politicians working on GMO free regions and protected
areas
* Scientists, legal and economic experts on the issue
* NGOs and institutions planning to establish GMO free Regions

WHAT TO EXPECT?

* Introduction to the issue
* Presentations of cases and concepts of GMO free Regions in Europe
* Intensive, well prepared workshops on key aspects
* Discussion of strategies and public presentation of joint demands
* Contacts and opportunities for bilateral, regional and international
co-operation
