We call for the full publication of the signed Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and urge Madagascar to reject any commitment to UPOV that would restrict farmers’ rights to freely use, save, reproduce and exchange their seeds.
Takianay ny hamoahana ampahibemaso ny Accord de Partenariat Économique (APE) manontolo ary manohitra ny famatorana an’i Madagasikara amin’ny UPOV izay mety hanohintohina ny zon’ny tantsaha hampiasa malalaka ny masomboliny.
Nous demandons que le contenu intégral de l’Accord de Partenariat Économique soit rendu public et appelons Madagascar à refuser toute législation inspirée de l’UPOV qui limiterait les droits des paysans sur leurs semences.
Farmers’ organizations and Malagasy civil society warn about the risks of the EU–Madagascar Economic Partnership Agreement for peasant seeds, farmers’ rights and food sovereignty.
