It is an important element of the European Commission's strategy on the bioeconomy, announced in February 2012. The panel has 30 members, who were carefully selected following an open call for candidates. They have a variety of professional backgrounds, and represent the interests of different stakeholder groups: producers, enterprises, and industry; the scientific and research community; public administrations; and civil society. Panel members have been appointed to serve an initial two year period from 2013 – 2015. The European Commission defines the bioeconomy as: "the production of renewable biological resources and their conversion into food, feed, bio- based products and bioenergy". It includes agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and pulp and paper production, as well as parts of chemical, biotechnological and energy industries. Dominique Barjolle Musard Deputy Director, Research Institute of Organic Farming (FiBL), Switzerland, and Lecturer/Researcher, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Dominique Barjolle Musard holds a PhD in agricultural economics (AgroParisTech), and a post-graduate certificate in Economics (University of Montpellier 1). Her area of expertise is the economics of quality and especially how voluntary food sustainability standards act to adjust supply to demand in the "quality" dimension and in particular its "sustainability" component. She began her career as a researcher in Agricultural Economics at ETH Zurich in Switzerland, where she developed research on food marketing and consumers, especially in product quality and governance of agrifood chains. She has initiated and participated in several research programs on innovation in agriculture, and the interaction between research and adoption of innovations. She has participated in 10 European projects, one of them as a coordinator (FOCUS BALKANS). She led for 8 years the Swiss Center of agricultural extension and rural development (AGRIDEA), which is active in the dissemination of knowledge and is an actor in participatory research in agriculture and rural development. As French and Swiss citizen, she has experience in many developing countries (Balkans, North and sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia). She is currently Deputy Director at the Institute of Organic Agriculture Research (Switzerland) and lecturer at the ETH, and works closely with several UN agencies (FAO, UNIDO, WIPO). FiBL is a private foundation dedicated to the pursuit of excellence on sustainability in agriculture and food. FiBL is active in Switzerland, Europe and worldwide. A balance between various funding sources guarantees its independence. A board of independent experts and stakeholders supports its strategic planning and operational management. 4 Catia Bastioli CEO, Novamont Born in in Foligno (Italy) in 1957, Catia Bastioli graduated in Pure Chemistry at the University of Perugia and attended the school of Business Administration (“Alti Potenziali Montedison”) at the Bocconi University in Milan.

They long to know what the decision-makers are thinking, so they can plan ahead. They yearn to be in the loop, to have the drop on things. It is the genius of the lobbyists and the consultants to understand this need, and to satisfy it in the most imaginative way. Business forums are vehicles for forging links and maintain a dialogue with business, industrial and trade organisations. They allow the discussions of general and pre-legislative issues in a different context from lobbying contacts about specific matters. They provide an opportunity to get Members of the European Parliament and other decision-makers from the European institutions together with various business sectors.

Considerando que cerca de 14 millones de personas en la Unión Europea y entre el 1 y el 3 % de la población mundial total sufre de fibromialgia, un síndrome debilitante que causa dolores crónicos generalizados, B. Considerando que, aunque la Organización Mundial de la Salud reconoció la fibromialgia como enfer­ medad ya en 1992, esta patología no está incluida en el índice oficial de patologías en la UE, lo cual impide a los pacientes obtener un diagnóstico oficial, C. Considerando que las personas que sufren de fibromialgia acuden con más frecuencia al médico de cabe­ cera, son remitidos con mayor frecuencia a especialistas, reciben más certificados de baja por enfermedad y son hospitalizados con mayor frecuencia, lo que genera una carga económica considerable para la UE, D. Considerando que los pacientes de fibromialgia tienen que luchar por llevar una vida plena e indepen­ diente, a menos que tengan acceso a un tratamiento y un apoyo adecuados, 1. Pide al Consejo y a la Comisión que: — desarrollen una estrategia comunitaria sobre la fibromialgia con objeto de que esta patología sea recono­ cido como enfermedad; — contribuyan a la sensibilización sobre esta patología y faciliten el acceso a la información para profesio­ nales y pacientes, apoyando las campañas de la UE y nacionales de sensibilización; — alienten a los Estados miembros a mejorar el acceso al diagnóstico y al tratamiento; — promuevan la investigación sobre la fibromialgia mediante los programas de trabajo del Séptimo Programa Marco de Investigación y Desarrollo Tecnológico y futuros programas de investigación; — promuevan el desarrollo de programas para la recopilación de datos sobre la fibromialgia; 2.

According to the European Commission, there are approximately three million HCAIs and 50,000 attributable deaths in the European Union each year. This is clearly a health crisis requiring pan-European leadership. HCAIs constitute an increasing proportion of the overall HFE believes that urgent action is required burden of disease in European societies. Control and prevention of and calls on and encourages the European HCAIs must, therefore, be a high priority for the European Union. Indeed there is much that can be done - the European Centre Commission and Member States to rapidly for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in its First Report on Communicable Diseases (published in June 2007) noted that up to agree and adopt appropriate measures in 30% of HCAIs are preventable. order to significantly reduce HCAIs across Health First Europe (HFE) enthusiastically welcomed the Commission’s Europe.

  • Grote Technische Systemen in Nederland in De 20E Eeuw
    Author version PUBLISHED AS: Erik van der Vleuten, ‘Networked Nation. Infrastructure integration of the Netherlands,’ in: Johan Schot, Arie Rip, and Harry Lintsen (eds), Technology and the making of the Netherlands. The age of contested modernization 1890-1970 (MIT Press/ Walburg Pers, 2010), 47-123. 2 Networked Nation: Infrastructure Integration of the Netherlands Erik van der Vleuten “The word landscape literally refers to creating land and space. Without humans there would be no landscape. This is the essence of the Netherlands.”1 Thus the Dutch presentation of their country at the World Fair 2000 in Hanover, Germany. Several government documents further elaborate this image: this shaping of Dutch space, and also of the Dutch economy and society, particularly relies on human-built material infrastructure, or “networks.”2 The Fifth National Policy Document on Spatial Planning 2000/2020, published in 2001, and the National Spatial Strategy (in 2006) explicitly portray the Netherlands as an evolving “network society” and a “network economy.”3 Unlike modern network society theorists focusing exclusively on information and communication technology, Dutch policymakers emphasize that this process is carried by the “entirety of roads, railways, waterways, pipelines and sewers, digital networks, seaports, airports and transfer points.”4 These networks are conceived of as a spatial layer mediating between the natural condition and social life, shaping “where people live, work, and spend their leisure time.”5 For one, “the activities of [Dutch] citizens and businesses occur in increasingly larger spaces, in both a physical and a virtual sense.”6 Successive governments of different political stripes have long agreed on this pivotal role of networks in Dutch space and society and the need to sustain and expand them, despite recurrent disagreements about the role of the central government in this undertaking.

  • Profilo Catia Bastioli – ENG
    Profilo Catia Bastioli – ENG Born in in Foligno (Italy) in 1957, Catia Bastioli graduated in Pure Chemistry at the University of Perugia in 1981 and attended the school of Business Administration (“Alti Potenziali Montedison”) at the Bocconi University in Milan. Her activity focused in the field of materials science, environmental sustainability and renewable raw materials at the Guido Donegani Institute, Montedison Corporate Research Center, until 1988. She then contributed in founding Fertec Research Centre on renewable raw materials, which later became Novamont, addressing more in depth the themes of environmental sustainability. At first as Technical Director, then as Director General from 1996 - after the exit of Novamont from the Montedison Group - and later as CEO, Catia Bastioli has turned Novamont from a research centre into a reference company in the field of bioplastics and products from renewable sources, thus working for the acceleration of research-transformation processes into a new industrial reality. Over time, Catia Bastioli has been developing and field-studying the model of third-generation biorefineries, where an efficient use of resources is the primary objective and priority is given to high value-added products, short supply-chains and a system-based economy. This represents a cultural (before than economical) model development, based on territorial regeneration that starts from decommissioned chemical sites and uses local biodiversity and scraps in order to give origin to low- cost raw materials, capitalizing research and innovation and involving different stakeholders. The innovative technologies developed for the bioplastics integrated supply-chain have led to the foundation and growth of a series of companies, that today form part of the Novamont Group.
