How does the Stop the Crop Cyber Action work? Technical Details

1.       It goes to the national ministers in charge of decision making on the vote of their country on GMOs.

2.       It should be in their language and they should receive letters from their country. However it is also possible to send letters from other countries to those ministers, who are the most critical (intending to abstain or vote in favour of the Commission proposals)

3.       It must be fast and wide spread

4.       A sample of the letter can be found online at:
www.gmo-free-regions.org/stop-the-crop-action.html 
Here you will also find updates, background information and downloads as well as technical details

What you do

1.       Send us a  translation of the letter to go to your minister

2.       Send us the email address(es) of the minister(s) in charge the letter will go to

3.       Send us a contact person and email for your website

4.       Present and promote the cyber-letter on your website and inform others about it

5.       Possibly also provide a text to download for paper-signature and mail as well as collection of signatures (doc / pdf) with the ministers and their address on top

What we do

1.       Put the letter online on our server in your language

2.       Provide you with the code you can use on your website so the cyber-letter appears and can be sent directly from your website

3.       Send you the details of all those who sign from your website

4.       Store the information entered by those who sign

5.       Keep you informed about the overall number of letters in your country and in the EU

6.       Keep you informed about the political development (in English) so you can inform your participants

What we do not do

1.       Use the data of the signers for other purposes

2.       Provide you with more than the most basic technical help

3.       Allow any mails to those who have NOT indicated they want more information

What “the system” does

1.       Store the information provided by the signers (see below) and count them

2.       Distribute it to the email of the website the signer comes from
