REFLEXIONS PERISCÒPIQUES

Publicat el 10 de maig de 2012

Patentar éssers vius? No, gràcies.

Al Parlament Europeu hem votat avui una resolució que demana a l’Oficina Europea de Patents i la Comissió Europea que garanteixi la legislació europea que prohibeixi la concessió de patents sobre cultiu de plantes o animals.

Els eurodiputats ham enviat així un missatge clar a l’Oficina Europea de Patents en relació a la necessitat que respecti la legislació europea i que aturi la concessió de patents sobre formes de vida.

El creixent nombre de conflictes derivats de l’adjudicació de biopatents posa de manifest que l’OEP utilitza una interpretació massa àmplia del que pot ser patentat sota la directiva de biopatent de la Unió Europea i el Conveni sobre la Patent Europea. És cert que aquestes normes permeten patentar organismes modificats genèticament, però l’OEP va molt més enllà i emet patents sobra pràctiques d’alimentació convencional. A més, la legislació europea prohibeix la concessió de patents sobre els processos biològics i la OEP ha de respectar aquest aspecte. A la llarga, cal que l’Oficina Europea de patents se sotmeti al control democràtic i d’actuar d’acord amb les sentències del Tribunal Europeu de Justícia.

La concentració del patrimoni genètic i la seva propietat intel·lectual en mans d’un petit nombre d’empreses no té res a veure amb l’interès dels agricultors o el públic en general i la seguretat alimentària mundial. Les patents estratègiques només serveixen per reforçar els monopolis de mercat i obstaculitzar, en lloc a enfortir la innovació. En resum, els criadors i agricultors han de mantenir l’accés als recursos genètics sense traves ni controls que algunes multinacionals puguin imposar.
