Ladies and gentlemen, Dear project partners, Dear colleagues and friends,

Today is an important day and I am delighted to take the floor on behalf of the Community Plant Variety Office. Today is an important day because - on top of our mutual interest for plant breeding - we all have something new in common. Yes, we can say it officially now: we are all “invited”! Not only were we all “invited” to join this kick-off event in the city of Angers. We are also all “invited” because each one of us is directly involved in the INVITE project!
