Additionally, in accordance with President Santer's recent "Action for Employment in Europe: A Confidence Pack" and the conclusions of the Florence European Council, the Presidency will seek to expedite the adoption of the Statute for a European Company and the Legal Framework for Biotechnological Inventions.
