AUDACE's presentation at the « International Crop-Science Conference & Exhibition » the Radisson, Bangkok :
click in the picture ABSTRACT : By creating a new I.P. right, that is data exclusivity outside the duration of the basic patent and SPCC the « Dominant Industry » has secured for itself the WHOLE CAKE ! This is increasingly misunderstood, unpopular, and like any excessive immoderation, unsustainable. It will run up against its own contradictions and all kinds of dispositions including competition law. Even a fashionable, though spurious, catchphrase such as « free riders » applied to the independent generic producers will not resist the evidence and the enormity of the CAKE. Beyond differences of opinion and corporatist interests, a new multilateral approach will have to be invented to reconcile public health and environmental regulations with I.P. rights, consistent with their respective objectives.

QUESTION ÉCRITE E-3350/08 posée par Françoise Grossetête (PPE-DE) à la Commission Objet: Monopole des fabricants de produits phytopharmaceutiques Un certain nombre de producteurs de produits phytopharmaceutiques comme Bayer, Basf ou Syngenta dominent très largement le marché au sein de L'union européenne et peuvent ainsi profiter de cette situation. Ces firmes achètent les petites entreprises et l’ensemble de leurs brevets qu'elles détiennent sur des substances actives. Ces brevets sont protégés pour des durées très longues (25 ou 30 ans). La détention d’un brevet d’une substance active leur assure le monopole sur chacun des produits et leur permet de maîtriser en grande partie la gestion de leurs prix. Citons, à titre d'exemple le cas du glyphosate, substance active du Round Up, qui est passé de 3€ le litre en 2007 à 8€ en 2008. Les produits dont les brevets tombent sont soit des traitements obsolètes, soit des produits renouvelés avec des molécules très proches qui font l’objet de nouveaux brevets. La Commission européenne envisage-t-elle d'examiner attentivement les situations de cette nature qui pourraient être préjudiciables pour les agriculteurs ? WRITTEN QUESTION E-5042/08 by Ashley Mote (NI) to the Commission Subject: Pesticides threat to British farming Is the Commission fully aware of the negative impact of the proposed directive on pesticides (COM(2008)0093), which threatens to undermine thriving horticultural, fruit and vegetable-growing industries in my constituency and unnecessarily increase the cost of basic fruit and vegetables to consumers by reducing supplies? The proposal to ban the use of the majority of pesticides, despite the fact that every one has had specific approval in the past, flies in the face of all farming logic and proven scientific facts. Is the proposal the result of lobbying by environmental groups with their own highly contentious political agendas, much of which is funded by the EU itself through NGOs? If fruit farmers in particular cannot control the pests that infect their orchards they will go out of business. What can be clearer than that? Horticulturalists face identical problems but with different pests. No adequate alternatives exist. If the cut-off criteria proposed in the Commission's review of Directive 91/414/EC[1] are applied, growers will quite literally have no means of controlling the most serious pest and disease threats to their crops. Once again EU so-called 'law' will close UK businesses and put people out of work. Is that what the Commission intends? [1] OJ L 230, 19.8.1991, p. 1.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-4703/08 by John Bowis (PPE-DE) to the Commission
Subject: Plant protection products
Several scientists claim that the introduction of hazard-based cut-off criteria to EU plant protection approval legislation and the consequential reduction in the number and use of available synthetic plant protection products will actually increase the total amount of pesticides (natural and synthetic) consumed by Europeans. Can the Commission please give its view? Can the Commission give specific information on the feedback received from EFSA on this specific issue ?

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3058/08 by Sajjad Karim (PPE-DE) to the Commission
Subject: Biocidal Product Directive 98/8/EC[1]
In the light of the forthcoming consultation due to take place on 23 May 2008 and the Commission’s impact assessment of the legislation to be carried out by 3 different companies, I would like to raise some concerns and questions to the Commission in advance. I have witnessed direct negative effects of the Directive on SMEs in my constituency which are suffering to a large extent due to the fact that they are under pressure to produce the dossier in support of a substance they wish to continue to use. They are forced to channel a large majority of their staff into research and writing the report and are thus unable to maintain the normal running of the business. They are losing out on money and business and at present, no reimbursements to companies which are suffering in this way are available. Is the Commission willing to consider introducing funding for research in order to properly implement the legislation without detriment to EU companies and particularly SMEs? Was the Commission aware of such detrimental effects of the Directive? |
