Posted on 2-4-08 Petition For Natural Products In Europe
The European Parliament and bureaucracy has decided that things like
Weleda and Wala medicines and Biodynamic babyfoods and such like are too
small a market for special laws of protection to be made for them, and
instead are demanding they fit into laws to protect the population from
poor quality products made from totally different synthetic products.
For example a perfectly good Biodynamic babyfood company has been put out
of business by being forced to put synthetic vitamins into its packs, when
the food already had more natural vitamins than the EU standards. Hence
the people who want good quality babyfood stopped buying it.
This is a direct and immediate threat to freedom of choice and alternative
products and ideas throughout Europe and after that the rest of the world.
This will affect all Biodynamic and organic agriculture, perfectly good
scientific alternative anthroposophic medicines, Waldorf/Steiner education
and curative homes plus other initiatives coming specially from the ideas
of Rudolf Steiner. 80 years of most fruitful work for humanity is being
seriously threatened at this very moment and perhaps even more importantly
the capacity of people to have choices of top quality products and
education.
If 1 million signatures can be gathered showing support for these products
and methods (and the free choice associated with them!) then the EU
Parliament will pass a law to protect their special character.
In the last six months 340,000 signatures have been collected from 100
countries but we need another 660,000 urgently.
Please help by signing it yourself online if you have not already and by
getting another 10 to do so very soon.
Recently 1 million folk signed a petition for the Dalai Lama and Tibet in
just two weeks so there are many folk out there who are concerned about
freedom issues.
Please click on this link below, and fill out your details, send and then
remember to confirm your signing of the petition by clicking the
confirmation in the email that is sent to you.
