New EuropaBio chief urges more science in regulation.(Interview)
BRUSSELS, Belgium -- The new head of Europe's biggest biotech association is determined to improve the climate the industry operates in. Willy De Greef, who has just taken over as secretary general of EuropaBio, insisted the EU should deliver "top quality risk assessment informed by the best science."
In an interview with BioWorld International, he recognized that the industry in Europe faces tough conditions. The controversies over genetically modified crops are far from resolved, and the European Union's attempts to get the authorization process back on track have not impressed him.
He said he is "worried" that there are now two parallel and potentially conflicting reviews under way--one led by the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and another by French environment minister Jean-Louis Borloo, currently the president of the EU's council of environment ministers.
He also said he is disappointed that European companies--which he claims "lead the world on second-generation biofuels"--are receiving little support at home to build the state-of-the-art factories necessary to test solutions. Instead, he said, many of them are now accepting funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to move their operations across the Atlantic.
