GOVERNMENT CONTROL NEWS -
EUROPEANS WILL NEED PERMITS TO PLANT SEEDS
European Commission will criminalize all seeds and plants not registered with the government, and the EU bureaucracy will collect a mandatory fee for each registration.
(NaturalNews) A new law proposed by the European Commission would make it illegal to "grow, reproduce or trade" any vegetable seeds that have not been "tested, approved and accepted" by a new EU bureaucracy named the "EU Plant Variety Agency."
It's called the Plant Reproductive Material Law, and it attempts to put the government in charge of virtually all plants and seeds.

While this law may initially only be targeted at commercial gardeners, it sets a precedent to sooner or later go after home gardeners and require them to abide by the same regulations.
The draft text of the law, which has already been amended several times due to a huge backlash from gardeners, is viewable here.
"This law will immediately stop the professional development of vegetable varieties for home gardeners, organic growers, and small-scale market farmers", said a vegetable breeder. Gardeners will also have to pay fees to the EU bureaucracy for the registration of their seeds.
