EC/Russia agreement on cooperation in science and technology: renewal

The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted the report, by simplified procedure, by Amalia SARTORI (EPP, IT) in which it recommended the European Parliament to give its consent to the renewal of the Agreement on cooperation in science and technology between the European Community and the Government of the Russian Federation.

Renewal of the Agreement in its current form could also provide a much-needed impetus to the on-going negotiations on a comprehensive New EU-Russia Agreement, foreseen to replace the existing Partnership and Cooperation Agreement.
