THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY'S RESEARCH POLICY

Science and research are foundation stones for long-term economic development. The pace of progress depends on them as much today as in the past.

It was therefore inevitable that from the outset the European Community would be Involved in them. In the future much will depend on whether the European countries and the European Community show themselves capable of adopting a policy commensurate with the issues at stake.

What can and must the Community do to encourage research within its territory?

The Community has no intention of taking over from the industrial and government research effort in the Member States. However, it is in a position to carry out in its own research centres and with its own funds various specific projects that serve the common interests of the Community.

It can also provide financial support of up to 50 % of the cost for certain projects carried out by one or more Member States.

The Community also has a coordinating role. Its main aim is to facilitate discussion between those responsible for national research projects. These discussions can cover a wide variety of aims and achievements.

The Community is currently giving priority to the execution and promotion of research in several key areas. The first is the security of our supplies of raw materials (energy, food, other raw materials), followed by efforts to increase the competitiveness of industry, then the improvement of living and working conditions and finally the protection of our environment.
