What they argued
The European Biosafety Association (EBSA) is an organisation representing biosafety and biosecurity professionals, as well as those in aligned fields. It serves as a platform for specialists across Europe and beyond to share knowledge, collaborate, and promote best practices. EBSA's 600+ members represent 45 countries and include experts from academic, clinical, governmental and industrial environments.
The European Biosafety Association (EBSA) takes note of the European Commissions initiative to prepare a Biotech Act II focusing on industrial biotechnology and biomanufacturing. The Biotech Act II is expected to complement the European Biotech Act I, which focuses primarily on health biotechnology and is currently progressing through the legislative process.
The European Biosafety Association (EBSA) welcomes the Call for Evidence on the European Innovation Act. Detailed feedback can be found in the attached position paper.
