Following a recent poll which revealed that 35 per cent of Europeans believe
the statement 鈥渙rdinary tomatoes do not contain genes, while genetically
modified tomatoes do,鈥� a European Union committee of scientific experts
concludes that scientific research should be much higher on the European
political agenda. The 11-member group, appointed by EU research commissioner
Philippe Busquin, calls for an urgent drive to get more women and young people
interested in science to stop future European 鈥渟kills shortages鈥�. It also
advocates more speculative research projects, which although riskier could have
better pay-offs.
