Greenpeace warnt heute in Muenchen vor der Patentierung von Schweinen. Der amerikanische Agrar-Konzern Monsanto hat bei der Weltpatentbehoerde in Genf verschiedene Patentantraege angemeldet, in denen ganze Schweinerassen als Erfindung beansprucht werden. Das Europaeische Patentamt (EPA) muss die Patentantraege pruefen und ueber eine Erteilung der Patente in Europa entscheiden. Mit Ferkel auf dem Arm fordern Greenpeace und die Baeuerliche Erzeugergemeinschaft Schwaebisch Hall die Mitarbeiter des EPA heute auf, die Patentantraege abzulehnen. Die Ferkel gehoeren zur traditionellen Rasse der Schwabisch-Haellischen Landschweine, die ebenfalls von dem Patent betroffen waeren.Locations:Europe-Germany-MunichDate:16 Dec, 2005Credit:© Falk Heller / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3600px X 2391pxKeywords:Actions and protests-Day-European Patent Office (EPO)-Greenpeace activists-KWCI (GPI)-Life patents-Monsanto-Outdoors-Piglets-Pigs-SAGE (campaign title)-Signs-Small group of people-Theatrical costumesShoot:Action against Life Patents in GermanyGreenpeace and the "Baeuerliche Erzeugergemeinschaft Schwaebisch Hall" protest against patents on pigs by Monsanto in front of EPA (European Patent Office).
