[Michal]

Hi,
Have You seen that?

Unfortunately if it is like this article is saying, voting in EU parlament for this legislation happened today or will happen today.
Looks terrible.

I did see it.

This Dutch article mentions that people that have their own allotments or veggie gardens have to buy seeds certified by Europe.
