	The Scientist : EU parliament backs embryo research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the latest stage of the ongoing approval process for Europe's 2007 to 2013 research budget, the European Parliament endorsed a legislative report that would see the overall allocation for the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) rise to roughly 50bn.
		The industry group is also worried that the process of getting hold of that money will be too complex, she added.
		Instead, the Parliament took the lead of its Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, and agreed that research on the use of human stem cells, both adult and embryonic, can be financed -- but remains dependent on the scientific proposal and the legal framework of the Member states involved.

	Health and Consumer Intergroup in the European Parliament - About the Health and Consumer Intergroup
		While consumer and health related matters are officially part of the remit of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection and the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, several other parliament Committees also deal with issues that concern both public health and consumer affairs.
		These committees are: the Legal Affairs Committee, the Transport and Tourism Committee, the Committee for Economic and Monetary Affairs, the Agriculture Committee, the Industry, Research and Energy Committee.
		As a result of this spread across several committees, it is often very difficult to ensure that MEPs are well-informed on the specific health and consumer angle to dossiers such as copyright, passenger transport, the CAP, financial services, REACH, Services Directives, nutritrional issues, Television without Frontiers, as the link may not always be obvious.

	COMMITTEE ON SCIENCE
		Pipeline integrity and safety are of critical importance to the public, both to reduce injuries and fatalities from pipeline failures and because of the importance of the products carried—natural gas, liquid products and, increasingly, hydrogen and other energy sources for the future.
		A key aspect of industry response to any supply disruption is supply diversity, which provides the opportunity for adjustments to accommodate a sudden drop in supply from any single source.
		The Science Committee’s legislation, H.R. 3929, will address some of the research needs posed by the nation’s aging and vulnerable pipeline infrastructure and to address the need for a new generation of pipelines to transport products in the future.
