  • Brussels, 7Th November 2017 the MEP Horse
    Brussels, 7th November 2017 The MEP Horse Group led by Jean Arthuis met on 7 November at the European Parliament in Brussels to discuss the impact of Brexit on the horse industry. The conference was attended by MEPs, French parliamentarians, agricultural attachés, officials of the European Commission and many representatives of the equine industry, members of the European Horse Network. Belgian MEP Hilde Vautmans, who is also very involved in the group, wanted to show the innovations of European equestrian sport. Mrs Vautmans highlighted the values of integration, volunteering and mentoring of equestrian sport, as well as its constant innovation; Frédéric Bouix, General Director of the French Equestrian Federation and President of the FITE, Federation of Equestrian Tourism who presented the first European Equestrian Route last July, the Route d'Artagnan, returned to the details of the mobility of horses in Europe and how the Benelux / France agreement could be extended to other countries such as Germany and Italy. Harald Muller, Director of Education and Standards at the International Equestrian Federation, explained the organization's approach to helping owners of training facilities and event organizers ensure the right construction and maintenance of the surfaces as well as the reduction of the environmental impact of the events. Bert Prouvé, Belgian professional rider, and Christophe Ameeuw, CEO of EEM World, showed that with professionalism and passion, equestrian activities and events can still be created or recreated and attract new audiences. Boy- Adrian van Gelderen, a student at the Young Riders Academy, testified about this entirely new educational concept for promising young riders.

  • Tribune – Loi Bioéthique
    «Les questions que pose la loi bioéthique sont trop graves pour passer en force» TRIBUNE - À l’initiative de Patrick Hetzel, député LR du Bas-Rhin, les présidents des groupes LR à l’Assemblée et au Sénat, Damien Abad et Bruno Retailleau, ainsi que 77 autres parlementaires LR*, expliquent les mesures de la loi bioéthique qui suscitent leur inquiétude. Par Tribune collective Publié hier à 20:30, mis à jour hier à 20:30 Les 2 et 3 février derniers, en seconde lecture, le Sénat a profondément amendé le projet de loi bioéthique tel qu’il avait été voté par l’Assemblée nationale l’été dernier. BERTRAND GUAY/AFP Les 2 et 3 février derniers, en seconde lecture, le Sénat a profondément amendé le projet de loi bioéthique tel qu’il avait été voté par l’Assemblée nationale l’été dernier. Une commission mixte paritaire (réunissant sept députés et sept sénateurs s’efforçant de parvenir à un compromis sur les dispositions du texte où un désaccord persiste entre les deux assemblées, NDLR) a aussitôt été convoquée par le premier ministre ; elle devrait se tenir le mercredi 17 février. Dans ce contexte, les Français ont le droit de savoir que le projet voté par l’Assemblée nationale ne porte pas simplement sur une question technique liée à la PMA, mais qu’il réalise aussi une réforme générale de la filiation. En effet, le projet de l’Assemblée crée un nouveau mode d’établissement de la filiation fondé sur une déclaration conjointe anticipée de deux femmes devant notaire. Cette démarche, qui vaut reconnaissance de l’enfant qui sera conçu par PMA avec donneur de sperme, permet aux déclarantes d’être inscrites comme mères sur l’acte de naissance de l’enfant.

This rapid and significant population growth will be accompanied by equally significant economic growth, particularly in China and India. When combined, the population growth and its corresponding economic surge requires societies around the world to not only adapt to the health implications of an already changed climate and environment but also seek more efficient and less environmentally impactful ways to grow food and manufacture goods. Within the social imperative of addressing these global challenges lies the enormous opportunity for the innovative solutions biotechnology delivers. Whether in Europe, Canada or elsewhere, biotech innovation is becoming increasingly central to the global competitiveness of the industries and sectors that form the economic foundation of economies. In this context, National Biotech Week represents an important opportunity to acknowledge the global challenges and opportunities faced by all of society while also showcasing the many important industrial, health and agricultural solutions biotech provides in addressing these challenges.
