Attended by officials and experts from the security, defense, and health communities across Europe, the roundtable discussion was designed to elevate awareness among professionals in the European Union (EU) about the importance of biopreparedness against naturally-occurring pandemics and bioterrorist attacks.
In a release, the Company noted that the EU is working to find the best formula to assess threats, which requires building confidence mechanisms across borders and allowing for better information exchange between the member states' intelligence services. Panel speakers from NATO, the European Commission, and the Office of the EU counterterrorism coordinator shared their experiences and expressed their views on how to ensure civilian and military safety in Europe. In view of the expected Lisbon Treaty to come into force, the solidarity among European member states is expected to further increase and possible responses could be found in regional approaches.
"Emergent BioSolutions applauds SDA for understanding both the urgency and importance of comprehensive, region-wide biopreparedness," said Allen Shofe, senior vice president for public affairs of Emergent BioSolutions. "The SDA has demonstrated a strong commitment to biopreparedness and bio-related issues since its inception in 2002. Today's roundtable is particularly timely as the European Commission had recently launched its CBRN Action Plan, which provides a solid foundation for increased biopreparedness."
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development, manufacture and commercialization of vaccines and therapeutics that assist the body's immune system to prevent or treat disease.
The Security & Defence Agenda (SDA) is a specialist Brussels-based think-tank where EU institutions, NATO, national governments, industry, specialised and international media, think tanks, academia and NGOs gather to discuss the future of European and transatlantic security and defence policies in Europe and worldwide.
