Research RTD, 6th framework- programme 2002-2006: nuclear energy, Euratom programme

The European Parliament adopted a resolution drafted by its rapporteur Konstantinos ALYSSANDRAKIS (EUL/NGL, Greece) and amended the Commission's proposal. (Please refer to the document dated 28/05/02.) It inserted a clause stating that, as regards infrastructures, transnational access to installations will be promoted. A further step will be to initiate in the mid-term a common analysis of the future EU needs in human resources and competencies and experimental tools. Parliament stated that this was a horizontal issue and will directly affect the potential of European research in areas such as safety, innovative concepts and education.�
