Biotechnology has long since become a global job engine. However, compared to the US and China, Europe is lagging in terms of innovation dynamics. This is the conclusion of a study by the Centre for European Policy (cep). This stagnation is forcing the EU to significantly im-prove the conditions for the development and production of bio-based industrial products.

In March, the European Union intends to present a European strategy for the economic use of space. The Centre for European Policy (cep) calls for a stronger industrial and geostrategic approach - otherwise the EU's plan threatens to degenerate into a farce. Other players are already in the process of conquering space industrially and militarily.

The Centre for European Policy (cep) praises the Commission for wanting to improve security of supply. However, its current proposal is too bureaucratic and anti-business.
