Abstract
On 19 October 2005 President Barroso signed the Decision appointing the 15 members of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE) under the EGE mandate for 2005 - 2009. Six of the new members were reappointed from the previous mandate and nine of the new members were appointed for the first time. The EGE held its first meeting on 25 October 2005 and elected Göran Hermerén as the President and Paula Martinho da Silva as the Vice-President of the new Group. The previous four-year mandate of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies expired in March 2005. The European Commission took this opportunity to review and revise the mandate of the EGE. The new mandate was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 20 May 2005. This confirmed the essential objectives of the EGE namely the provision of advice to the Commission on the ethics of science and new technologies. However, the mandate was changed to allow an increase in membership from the previous 12 to 15. This increase means that the new EGE has a wider range of competences and through its membership reflects the enlarged European Union.
