EU Ministers Formally Approve Biotechnology Research Program
BRUSSELS, Belgium - European Union ministers Monday at last gave their formal and final backing to the proposed 17 billion (US$16 billion) research assistance program that will provide significant support for biotechnology research through 2006. The seal of approval was given, without debate or fanfare, at a meeting of the EU Employment and Social Affairs Council in Luxembourg, where it had been added to the agenda at the last minute.
