Lobby-Erfolge bei der EU-Biopatent-Richtlinie

About Simon Gentry, the registrant for this page, he lobbied for the pharmaceutical giant Smithkline Beecham (SB) on the EU Life Patent Directive issue:

30 million ECU (Eur) for a pro-EU Life Patent Directive campaign from a single company, what should be the budget for the pro-SWPAT campaign?

The pro-directive campaign eventually succeded by carrying lots of handicapped persons in wheel-chairs into the European Parliament and making them clamor for gene patents "because otherwise the medicines that save us will not be developped".

It should be noted that thanks to Gentry's successful campaigning the EU now has a directive which goes to such extremes in allowing gene patenting that even some big genetics companies are unhappy about it and some governments have tried to attack it at the European Court of Justice or to delay its implementation.
