Public consultation - Mid term review of the Strategy for Europe on Life Sciences and Biotechnology

You have showed interest in recent events organised by the European Commission in the field of biotechnology. We are now starting the process of reviewing the European Strategy on Life Sciences and Biotechnology, which covers the 2002-2010 period. The European Commission would be very interested in having your opinion on the implementation and the way forward of the 30 actions included in the 2002 Life Sciences and Biotechnology Strategy Action Plan in order for us to evaluate the merits and possible shortcoming of the Strategy and draw conclusions on the best ways to maximise the contribution of modern biotechnology to the major European policy goals formulated in the renewed Lisbon Agenda, or "Partnership for Growth and Jobs", and the Sustainable Development Strategy.

You will find enclosed a consultation document, which provide background information on the Life Sciences and Biotechnology Strategy, as well as on the way we intend to organise the present consultation.

Sincerely yours,

Michel Servoz
Director SG D
