The Commission will carry out an independent study aimed at providing a comprehensive assessment and cost-benefit analysis of the consequences, opportunities and challenges that applications of modern biotechnology present for Europe in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects, draw on both the study and an in-depth assessment of the progress achieved since 2002 to update the Community Strategy on Life Sciences and Biotechnology in good time for the 2007 Spring European Council.

But in certain circumstances provided for by the law (good conduct, studies, vocational training while in detention, etc.) a life term can be reduced substantially in a Member State where it is actually provided for, while a long term served in a Member State where there is no life imprisonment can amount in practice to a life term.
