In September, 1995, Catherine Bertini, former US Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, now Executive Director of the U N World Food Program stated “FOOD IS POWER, We use it to change behavior. Some may call that bribery. We do not apologize.” Libertyark

BIODIVERSITY VS BIOPIRACY

“..98 per cent of vegetable varieties have disappeared, ...regulations are hastening the decline, ” Ref #1

“ ..the patenting of biodiversity begins by addressing how the World Trade Organization (WTO) incorporated the first international law to require intellectual property protection for living forms (microorganisms). The goal within the WTO, dating from 2000, is to extend patent laws over all plants and animals (Article 27.3b)”.....Ref #2

“On 21st May, 2003, the European Patent Office in Munich granted a patent to Monsanto .., even though plants are not patentable in European Law. The patent covers wheat exhibiting a special baking quality, derived from native Indian wheat....

They did not breed "Terminator seeds" for which the Indian name could be "NapHal".... because the original variety was stolen, not collected. NapHal is the name given by W.Koelz, USDA. However Koelz clearly did not make the collections himself, but was handed the varieties, since the locations are inaccurate. The altitudes and longitude / latitudes do not match.” {NOTE USDA did the stealing for the patenting company} Ref #3

“In the EU, there is now a list of 'official' vegetable varieties. Seed that is not on the list cannot be 'sold' to the 'public' .” Ref #4 & 5

“A largely unreported meeting held at the State Department discussed integration of the U.S., Mexico and Canada in concert with a move toward a transatlantic union, linking a North American community with the European Union.” Ref #6
