ANH seeks €100k to battle EU herb laws
The ANH and EBF believe the THMPD will decimate the European Union herbal sector when it takes force on April 1, 2011, and want to take the battle to the European Court of Justice via UK courts.
“The diverse elements within Europe’s vibrant herbal sector need now to step up to the plate, and make a contribution if they want to safeguard their ability to sell the kinds of herbal products they’ve been selling up until now,” said ANH-I executive and scientific director, Robert Verkerk, PhD.
“A lot of the preparatory work for our 3-pronged initiative with EBF has already been done. The main requirement for funding now is payment of our external lawyers, which are among the best available. We are not asking for a single cent to cover either EBF’s or ANH’s running costs despite so much of the work being done in-house”.
