GATT, The General Agreement of Tariffs and Trades, intends allowing patents for genetically engineered plants and animals. Via backdoors of the GATT the Chemical and Biotechnical Industry tries to obtain patents for all kinds of life-forms. With this action Greenpeace tries to prevent a GATT-astrophe, to increase public attention to this scandalous procedure and to encourage people to speak up against patents on life.Genf, 8. Oktober 1990 – Aktivisten der Umweltschutorganisation Greenpeace Schweiz erkletterten das GATT-Gebäude in Genf und entrollten ein Tranpsarent mit der Aufschrift ‚GATT – No Patents on Life’ (keine Patente auf Leben).Im Internationalen Zoll- und Handelsabkommen ist beabsichtigt, lebende Wesen unter Patentschutz zu stellen. Durch die Hintertür versuchen Chemie- und Biotechindustrie Patentsschutz für gentechnisch manipulierte Pflanzen und Tier zu erschleichen. Greenpeace versuchte mit dieser Aktion eine GATT-astrophe zu verhindern, die Öffentlichkeit auf das skandalöse Vorgehen aufmerksam zu machen und sich gegen Patentierbarkeit von Lebewesen auszusprechen.Locations:Alpine Countries-Geneva-SwitzerlandDate:8 Oct, 1990Credit:© Greenpeace / Ex-Press / David AdairMaximum size:2048px X 3072pxRestrictions:FOR NON-COMMERCIAL GREENPEACE PUBLISHED MATERIAL.
