A "strategic research agenda for European research in plant genomics and biotechnology" was launched by the EU Commission and the GMO industries lobby organisation "EuropaBio", supported by science and farmers organisations in Strasbourg. The plan outlines billions of research investments in the "bio-economy" over the next 15 years and within the 7th EU research framework programme. This vision of a genetically engineered European agriculture from food to bio-fuels will be discussed in the member states over the next month.</p><p><a href="http://www.europabio.org/ne_SRAGreen.htm">EuropaBio: Press release and presentations</a></p><p><a href="http://www.copa-cogeca.be/en/pressreleases.asp">COPA-COGECA Press release (E,F,I,D)</a></p><p><a href="http://www.europabio.org/SRAGreen/Potocnik%20speech.pdf">Speach of Commissioner Potocnic</a></p><p><a href="http://www.epsoweb.org/">European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO) Homepage</a>
