Research and technological development activities of the European Union. 1995 annual report

In adopting the report by Mr Bernd LANGER (PSE, D), on the research and technological development activities of the European Union, Parliament expressed some criticism of the work of the Commission and called for future annual reports to include the following: - a standard system of evaluation to make the individual programmes comparable; - the most important data and indicators from the monitoring reports on the individual specific programmes, and the Commission's opinions on them; - relations between the EU's RTD activities and those of the Member States; - the level and efficiency of coordination and cooperation; - the allocation of funds to regions and target groups; - the level of staff and administrative costs in the budget for the fourth framework programme; - an examination of the way promotion and research actions are integrated with other EU programmes, such as PHARE and TACIS. �
