In reality however, and as more and more people are beginning to discover, the European Union's primary concerns are not those of ordinary citizens but rather the interests of multi-billion euro European corporations and their patents on health-endangering products such as GMO seeds, pharmaceutical drugs, artificial food additives and pesticides. As this article shows, the root-cause motivation behind the recent absurd attacks on organic farming and vitamin supplements is the fact that organic seeds and vitamins cannot be patented and, along with other natural products, therefore threaten the multi-billion euro profits from the sale of GMOs and pharmaceutical drugs. Read on to discover how the European Union is misleading you about your health and why a Europe for the People, by the People - as opposed to a Europe of Big Business - is now more urgently needed than ever. http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/articles/20080710_joiningthedots.html 20080710102200 Thu, 10 Jul 08 10:22:00 GMT Latest News Updates http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_07_jul_09.html 20080709101200 Wed, 09 Jul 08 10:12:00 GMT EUROPE: Czechs Could 'Bury' Lisbon Treaty / Czech leader Klaus hopes EU treaty will be blocked / EU ups pressure on treaty approval / Polish president links EU treaty approval to Irish / Polish president refuses to sign EU reform treaty / German President Suspends Ratification of EU Lisbon Treaty/ The ratification game http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/news/index.html 20080709090100 Wed, 09 Jul 08 09:01:00 GMT Latest News Updates http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_07_jul_03.html 20080703081300 Thu, 03 Jul 08 08:13:00 GMT EU Constitution author says referendums can be ignored / Wheeler to appeal over referendum / High Court rejects bid to block EU treaty / Campaigners blast EU lobby register plans http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/news/index.html 20080630132400 Mon, 30 Jun 08 13:24:00 GMT Latest News Updates http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_06_jun_25.html 20080625081300 Wed, 25 Jun 08 08:13:00 GMT Judge forces delay in ratification of Lisbon treaty to await legal ruling / Czechs refuse to give Lisbon treaty pledge / Czech threat looms for EU treaty / EU gives Ireland an ultimatum - find a solution to treaty 'no' vote / Czechs against EU treaty further ratification / Czechs put ratifying of EU treaty on hold / Pressure on Czechs and Poles not to say 'no' to EU treaty too / EU treaty should be dropped, say British voters / EU faces fresh Lisbon delay http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/news/index.html 20080624132400 Tue, 24 Jun 08 13:24:00 GMT Latest News Updates http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_06_jun_18.html 20080618115300 Wed, 18 Jun 08 11:53:00 GMT Quick fix over treaty could backfire, EU leaders are warned / The EU reveals its anti-democratic nature / EU leaders move to keep treaty alive amid fears of permanent rift / EU should take new route, says Miliband / Irish health group welcomes 'no' to Lisbon treaty / Ireland insists / No 10 admits EU treaty is finished / Tories call for vote on EU Treaty / EU referendum: What the European papers say / Press urge PM to hold EU treaty vote after Irish 'no' / Irish voters sign death warrant for EU's Lisbon treaty / Czech president says EU's Lisbon treaty finished / Eurosceptics warn EU not to ignore Irish treaty rejection / Judges reserve EU vote decision http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/news/index.html 20080617155800 Tue, 17 Jun 08 15:58:00 GMT IAHS HEEDS D'ESTAING'S WORDS / Irish voters poised to kill off EU 'stealth constitution' / EU treaty in peril as Irish 'No' camp takes the lead / Lisbon could lead to "Iraq-like" campaign / Bookies Running Scared Of Lisbon Treaty No Vote / Corrs guitarist: 9/11 was an inside job http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/news/index.html 20080610104400 Tue, 10 Jun 08 10:44:00 GMT The Open Letter that the Irish Times wouldn't print http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_06_jun_09.html 20080609131200 Mon, 09 Jun 08 13:12:00 GMT European consumer organizations urge Irish voters to say "No" to Lisbon Treaty http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/press_releases/20080605_irish_voters.html 20080605153400 Thu, 05 Jun 08 15:34:00 GMT Thank you for your interest in the European Referendum Initiative and welcome to our first campaign newsletter! http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/newsletter/archive/newsletter_2008_04_apr_24.html 20080424112300 Thu, 24 Apr 08 11:23:00 GMT Consumer organizations launch campaign demanding right to referendums http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/press_releases/20080303_launch_campaign.html 20080303092100 Mon, 03 Mar 08 09:21:00 GMT What is the 'Referendum for Natural Remedies' campaign? The campaign aims to guarantee free access to scientifically based natural health remedies for all European Union citizens, via the holding of a 'Referendum for Natural Remedies' in all 27 European Member States. To achieve this, we want to obtain one million signatures in a petition demanding that the European Union hold such a referendum without delay. http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/petitions/natural_remedies_info.html 20080303082000 Mon, 03 Mar 08 08:20:00 GMT What is the background to this petition? On November 13, 2007, more than 30 survivors of the extermination camp Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps met in Auschwitz for a one-day conference. Based on their unique moral credo, this extraordinary group of people decided to throw their weight into the discussion about Europe's future. In a solemn ceremony, they shared their experiences from the past and proposed a constitution for a "Europe for the People, by the People." http://www.eu-referendum.org/english/petitions/europe_for_the_people_info.html 20080303081900 Mon, 03 Mar 08 08:19:00 GMT The European Referendum Initiative is a campaign for citizens to have the right to vote in a referendum whenever significant changes to laws affecting them are made at either national or European level.
