The main purpose of the Working Groups is to propose actions and policies which EuropaBio should adopt to ensure that biotech makes the maximum contribution to the European knowledge-based ecomony, the well-being of Europe's citizens and the competitiveness of the region. The Working Groups report to the different Councils and the Councils report to the EuropaBio Board.

The EuropaBio staff relies on the input of its members. Both corporate and national associations are represented and are actively involved in various working groups and operational units.

The active participation of staff from member companies and associations, the input of their know-how and expertise have resulted in a lean and pro-active organisation. Working Groups and Task Forces deal with issues such as gene therapy, orphan drugs, BioEthics, Competitiveness, Intellectual Property, Biodiversity and Regulatory Issues.

If specific interests or issues require special attention, financially autonomous operational units can be created. The members of each operational unit can propose the dissolution of the unit to the Board, when the issues have been resolved.
