EC consultations on Biotech Act, Plan for Cardiovascular Health and Roadmap on Post-quantum Cryptography are open

The European Commission has recently opened several consultations and calls for contributions.

The public consultation on the European Biotech Act opened on 4 August 2025 and will be open until 10 November 2025. The Biotech Act will propose a series of measures to create an enabling environment to accelerate the transition of biotech products from laboratory to factory and to the market, while maintaining the highest safety standards for the protection of the population and the environment.

The consultation is addressed to citizens, innovators, entrepreneurs, industry, financial institutions, investors/venture capitalists, researchers/research organisations, civil society (including consumer, patient and environmental organisations), other users of biotechnologies (e.g. farmers and foresters), trade unions, national and regional authorities, and any other stakeholders. The consultation strategy aims to ensure that all stakeholders concerned have an opportunity to express their views and share insights on the main challenges faced by the sector across the EU, the measures proposed, and their likely impact. Stakeholders’ input will feed into the impact assessment for the future European Biotech Act.

The call for evidence on the EU Plan for cardiovascular health opened on 11 August 2025 and will close on 15 September 2025. The EU plan for cardiovascular health will focus on actions that have tangible benefits for individuals, governments and stakeholders across the EU. The plan aims to strengthen the EU’s economic resilience by improving the health of millions of citizens through prevention, early detection and treatment, increasing innovation, and boosting the market capabilities and competitiveness of the EU health industry. Input provided will be taken into account in the further development and fine-tuning of this initiative.

The Commission opened a request for feedback and call for contributions on the EU Roadmap on Post-Quantum Cryptography, which will be open until 29 September 2025. The EC is inviting feedback on the recently published “Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography”. Furthermore, the work stream on post-quantum cryptography (PQC) of the NIS Cooperation Group plans to elaborate and publish further documents to support the PQC migration across the EU. For this, the Commission welcomes proposals for concrete contributions from the general public, in particular from critical infrastructures, industry, and academia. Submissions will undergo a review process by the work stream and promising proposals will be invited to provide more details.
