Research RTD, 4th framework-programme 1994-1998: adjustment of funding following 1995 enlargement (amend. Decision 1110/94/EC)

The common position increased the overall amount of the fourth framework programme of research and technological development by ECU 718 million allocated in a linear fashion between the four activities. The total amount for the Euratom framework programme was also increased by ECU 82 million. The Council retained Parliament's amendment concerning a slight modification with respect to the allocation of the funds between the two periods covered by the framework programme (1994-1996 and 1997-1998) as it was more in line with the preliminary draft budget for 1996. As regards the amendment aimed at increasing the additional appropriations of ECU 700 million by the same rate of 7%, the Council reached a compromise in the form of a declaration which the EP was asked to support. This declaration stated that the Decision in no way precluded the decision to be taken to increase the maximum amount available for the fourth framework programme of research and technological development. The same was true for the decision to increase the amount available for the Euratom framework programme. �
