The last couple of weeks there’s been a new discussion emerging from the Brussels bubble about the so-called “Innovation Principle”, and in December the wording made its first apperence in an official EU text.
At a glance – the “Innovation Principle” looks great. It’s only when you look a bit closer at it that the cracks start to appear. Behind the campaign pushing to introduce the “Innovation Principle” is a Brussels based lobby group called ERFwhich was funded by the likes of Chevron, BASF, Philip Morris, Bayer to name a few.

This webinar looks at the current facts surrounding the “Innovation Principle” and puts it all in perspective.
