The tinplate box, with a tightly fitting lid to keep out the noxious sea air as well as insects, heat, and water, was despatched to one of Vilmorin’s correspondents, a Philadelphian plant hunter called William Young (or Yong) (1742-1785).2 This parcel of seeds is 1 I wish to express my thanks to Maxine Berg, Jorge Flores, Katherine Foxhall, Oliver Fulton, Colin Jones, Neil Safier, Penny Summerfield, Koji Yamamoto and the editor and anonymous reviewers of History of Science – who all kindly read and gave helpful feedback on earlier versions of this paper.

  • Vilmorin Increases Its Stake in Hazera Genetics’ Capital and Successfully Concludes a Strategic Partnership with the Indian Biotechnology Company Avesthagen
    19th July 2006 Public limited company with Board of Directors with a capital of 204 225 819,25 euros. Head Office: 4, Quai de la Mégisserie – 75001 PARIS R.C.S. Paris 377 913 728 Accounts from 1st July to 30th June VILMORIN INCREASES ITS STAKE IN HAZERA GENETICS’ CAPITAL AND SUCCESSFULLY CONCLUDES A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH THE INDIAN BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY AVESTHAGEN. VILMORIN STRENGTHENS ITS POSITION IN THE VEGETABLE SEED MARKET … Vilmorin has recently finalized, with the holding company Megadlei Zeraim Ltd., acquisition of the stake that this company held in Hazera Genetics (Israel). Vilmorin has consequently increased its own stake from 54.8% to 90%. Vilmorin thus confirms its long-term commitment to support Hazera’s development strategy, which will above all be based on strengthening collaboration with the other professional vegetable seed companies at Vilmorin and on a broader opening-up towards external partners. In financial terms, this operation, which is entirely self-financed, values Hazera at a sum slightly below its market capitalization. It should increase the earning per share for Vilmorin from the 2006-2007 fiscal year. Listed on the Tel Aviv stock market, Hazera had a turnover of more than 50 million euros in 2005 with net profits of 6.1 million euros. The world leader in tomato seeds, Hazera also holds an important place in the pepper, melon and watermelon markets and is present in Europe, notably in the areas surrounding the Mediterranean and on the American market. 1/2 … AND CONCLUDES A FUNDAMENTAL STEP IN ITS DEVELOPMENT IN ASIA In consultation with its leading shareholder Limagrain, Vilmorin announces the successful negotiation of a strategic alliance with the Indian biotechnology company Avestha Gengraine Technologies Pvt.

    THE ANTICOMPETITIVE IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED BAYER-MONSANTO MERGER ON VEGETABLE SEED MARKETS Andrew Finch Acting Assistant Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530 August 2, 2017 Re: The Proposed Bayer-Monsanto Merger and Vegetable Seeds BY POST AND ELECTRONIC MAIL: [email protected] Dear Acting Assistant Attorney General Finch: The 24 undersigned advocacy organizations representing farmers, consumers and rural communities respectfully urge the U.S. Department of Justice to block the proposed merger between Bayer AG (Bayer) and the Monsanto Company (Monsanto). The proposed $66 billion Bayer-Monsanto deal would create the world’s biggest agrochemical and seed company — eclipsing the Dow Chemical-DuPont and Syngenta-ChemChina deals completed over the past two years.1 The completion of the three seed mega-mergers would make these top three seed and agribusiness firms three times larger than the rest of the top 10 global competitors combined.2 This deal has drawn most attention for the combination of agrochemicals and patented genetically modified (GM) commodity crop seeds, but the two companies are both significant players in vegetable seeds as well. Monsanto and Bayer are the first and fourth largest vegetable seed producers in the world, respectively.3 The vegetable seed industry is already highly consolidated. The proposed merger would strengthen the market power of the largest firm, disadvantage rival seed companies and increase the prices farmers pay for vegetable seeds while reducing their planting options — resulting in higher prices and reduced choices that are passed onto consumers at the supermarket.

  • The Impact of the French Securities Transaction Tax on Market Liquidity and Volatility ◊◊◊
    The Impact of the French Securities Transaction Tax on Market Liquidity and Volatility ◊◊◊ ∗ Gunther CAPELLE-BLANCARD ∗∗ ϒ Olena HAVRYLCHYK ϒϒ First draft: April 2013 Current draft: December 2013 Abstract : In this paper, we assess the impact of the securities transaction tax (STT) introduced in France in 2012 on market liquidity and volatility. To identify causality, we rely on the unique design of this tax that is imposed only on large French firms, all listed on Euronext. This provides two reliable control groups (smaller French firms and foreign firms also listed on Euronext) and allows using difference-in-difference methodology to isolate the impact of the tax from other economic changes occurring simultaneously. We find that the STT has reduced trading volume, but we find no effect on theoretically based measures of liquidity, such as price impact, and no significant effect on volatility. The results are robust if we rely on different control groups (German stocks), analyze dynamic effects or construct a control group by propensity score matching. Keywords : Financial transaction tax, Securities transaction tax, Tobin tax, Volatility, Liquidity, Euronext. JEL Classification : G21, H25. L'impact de la taxation des transactions financières sur la liquidité et la volatilité des actions françaises Résumé : Dans cet article, nous évaluons l’impact de la taxe sur les transactions financières (TTF), introduite en France en 2012, sur la liquidité et la volatilité des actions. Cette taxe se prête particulièrement bien à une étude d’impact dans la mesure où seules les grandes entreprises qui ont leur siège social en France sont taxées, permettant ainsi d’identifier deux groupes de contrôle : les autres entreprises françaises et les entreprises étrangères, toutes cotées sur Euronext.
