Biotech industry publishes new policy agenda for Europe – foreword by Finnish Presidency

Brussels, 14 December 2006
The European biotech industry has today published a new Industrial Biotechnology Policy Agenda for Europe.  Over the last two years the industry has worked out a set of practical steps to realise the vision of a Knowledge-Based Bio-Economy (KBBE), where biotechnology’s new, clean, energy-efficient processes and innovative bio-based products create a sustainable industrial base to ensure Europe’s future prosperity. But, without active political encouragement and incentives, the full benefits will not be achieved, and other trading partners will reap the rewards.
