Last weekend, February 2-3 the annual International Greek Biotech Conference
took place in Athens organized by Bionova Ltd., the representative of
EuropaBio (European Biotech corporations Lobby) in Greece.

Bionova as a national representative promotes in all levels the Biotech
agenda including GMO's, Agrofuels, Bio-patents, collaboration of Science &
Business aiming as well to expansion in the SE Europe. (For detailed review

Since the very first conference counter-action has been generated in Greece
from several groups from all over the country including mass demonstrations
(see report and video from the 3rd conference

This year due to some parallel anti-fascist demonstrations taking place very
close to the point of the anti-biotech gathering and extent street conflicts
between police, fascists and activists the whole thing got interrupted and
focused mostly to action within & outside the conference. (Watch all the fun
of the 4th conference in the video

Further counter-action is already being organised with the aim to inflict
the institutionalised status of the Greek representatives of Global Biotech
Engines. Keep in touch for more…
