CODEX Strikes Again - Biodynamic Products Under Attack
CategoriesAs expected business at any cost under the pretence of safety of course. Here again is proof positive that regulations primarily exist to squelch competition.
Thanks to Croft Woodruff for alerting us all. This is extremely serious once allowed the flood gates will open for other such products please take action and spread far and wide....

------------------------IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
NEW EUROPEAN LAWS EFFECTING
WELEDA AND WALA
From the ELIANT Campaign Initiative Group:"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 made for synthetic products to protect the population from poor quality.
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 throughout Europe and after that the rest of the world. This will affect Biodynamic and organic agriculture, perfectly good scientific alternative anthroposophic medicines, Waldorf/Steiner education and 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."
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?The ELIANT group is seeking 1 million signatures showing support for these products and methods (and the free choice associated with them!) to urge the EU Parliament to pass a law to protect their special character.
They believe this is a MOMENTOUS issue we MUST get through or else many other things will go as well in due course.
The ELIANT group reports, "In the last six months 340,000 signatures have been collected from 100 countries but we need another 660,000."
They are encouraging supporters to sign the initiative and also to spread the word to others, that they might sign as well.
