LAB 1: EU POLICY-MAKING
This online event is organised within the SEEDING_EU Erasmus+ project
In order to palliate the lack of knowledge and capacity of seed diversity actors in Europe to follow and engage in European policy-making processes and start cooperating with each other transnationally, virtual training with 4 LABS will be provided on the European legal landscape.
(1) Introduction to European law-making and the role of institutions (decision-making processes, European institutions, composition and roles);
(2) Seed marketing legislation and its current reform (applicable legislation, general principles, derogations that address seed diversity, current reform process and policy options).
At this form you can show your interest in participating also by giving some training advices
