The next step will be taken in January under the header \u2018orGENic \u2013 Challenge Organic Cotton without Genetic Engineering\u2019 dealing with other major \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d for meeting the target. In case of disputes the arbitration of the Bremen Cotton Exchange plays an essential role in this regard as well.<\/p>\n<p>Genetically modified cotton has meanwhile been holding the largest share in cotton planting around the globe. At the same time the interest in organic cotton has been growing. Most certification standards insist on refraining from using genetic engineering for seeds and breeding. Yet, doubtless proof is crucial. Due to the wide spread interest, the target group of the daytime seminar is also employees of the textile and clothing industry that are involved in supply, manufacturing or sales.<\/p>\n<p class=\"TitelOfficina12pte\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The seminar offers outstandingly informative lectures:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\">&nbsp;Elke Hortmeyer responsible for communication at the Bremen Cotton Exchange will induct into the world of cotton.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\">Dr. Lothar Kruse, managing director of Impetus Bioscience, will explain the scientific testing methods to prove the genetic modification of cotton. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"letter-spacing: -.05pt\" lang=\"EN-US\">Simone Dreyer, Diplom Engineer, employed as project engineer at the Bremen Cotton Exchange, will describe the aim of the research project.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\">Katharina Schaus of itfits Organic Textile Partner will inform on certification opportunities for organic cotton.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span lang=\"EN-US\">Simon Homann from the Swiss Remei AG will speak on challenges and solutions of planting and processing organic cotton<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"FlietextDINOTe\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The participation fee is 130 euros plus VAT per Person.
