Stop 'Monsantosizing' Food, Seeds and Animals!
The undersigned individuals, organisations and institutions call on governments and patent offices to stop this worrying development and to revise existing patent regulations. The patent regulations in the EU, US and in many other countries, as well as the WTO Trips Agreement, urgently need to be reviewed in order to stop the monopolisation and corporate control of the world’s genetic resources. This review should lead to a regulation that guarantees the right to food and a prohibition of patents on plants and farm animals.

Die unterzeichnenden Personen, Organisationen und Institutionen appellieren an die Regierungen und Patentämter, die bestehenden Regeln im Patentrecht zu überprüfen. Die Patentgesetze der EU, der USA und vielen anderen Regionen müssen verändert werden, um die fortschreitende Monopolisierung und die weltweite Kontrolle der genetischen Ressourcen durch wenige große internationale Konzerne zu verhindern. Durch neue Regelungen soll das Recht auf Nahrung gestärkt und Patente auf Pflanzen und landwirtschaftliche Nutztiere verboten werden.
Deutsch...Les personnes, organisations et institutions soussignées en appellent aux gouvernements et aux offices de brevets à mettre le haro sur ce développement des plus inquiétants et à revoir la législation en vigueur sur les brevets. Les règlementations sur les brevets de l’UE, des USA et de nombreux autres pays devraient être revues de suite afin d’arrêter la monopolisation et la mainmise des entreprises sur les ressources génétiques mondiales. Cette révision devrait poursuivre l’objectif de garantir le droit à l’alimentation et d’interdire les brevets sur les plantes et les animaux de rente.
Français...Las abajo firmantes personas, organizaciones e instituciones lanzan un llamamiento a los gobiernos y a las oficinas de patentes para poner coto a este desarrollo preocupante y para que se revisen las regulaciones sobre patentes existentes. Las regulaciones sobre patentes de la UE, los EE.UU. y muchos otros países, así como también los así llamados Acuerdos Trips de la OMC deben ser revisados con urgencia para poner coto a la monopolización y al control empresarial de los recursos genéticos del mundo. Esta revisión debería conducir a una regulación que garantice el derecho a la alimentación y la prohibición de patentes sobre plantas y animales de la granja.
