Mr. Lidington: To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the outcome of the EU Research Council on 5
December. [9862]
Mr. Ian Taylor: The main issue considered by the Council was the Commission's revised proposal for 100 million ecu additional
funding for the fourth framework programme for research and technological development. The Council agreed the proposal subject to a
statement in the minutes by the Council and Commission recognising the need for the Council to examine urgently, on the basis of
detailed figures provided by the Commission, the expenditure pressures expected to arise in category 3 of the EU's financial
perspectives until the end of the current financing period. This statement was included to respond to concerns expressed by the UK,
and shared by other member states, that the proposal should be fully compatible with the financial perspectives. The Netherlands and
Sweden entered reservations that are expected to be raised as and when the European Parliament confirm funding agreed by the Budget
Council for research and TENs-- trans-European networks--in the final stages of the EU's 1997 budgetary process. The areas to be
funded from the 100 million ecu match the United Kingdom priorities well, especially research on transmissible spongiform
encephalopathies and vaccines, and on aeronautics technologies.
The Council had a brief discussion of the Commission's proposals for the structure of the fifth framework programme outlined in its
working paper, "Towards the Fifth Framework Programme: material for the policy debate". Most member states shared the reservations
expressed by the UK, that substantial further consideration was needed of programme objectives and management mechanisms to achieve
the aim of a focused, user driven programme.
The Council agreed conclusions endorsing the Commission's proposed research strategy for transmissible spongiform encephalopathies,
which specifies priority research areas and embodies provisions that will ensure that the research undertaken is of the highest
quality. The Council also agreed conclusions on the treatment of SMEs in the framework programme, the role of the joint research
centre and the contribution of research to the fight against drugs.

Aerospace Companies' foresight action initiative. [9309]
Mr. Arbuthnot: The foresight action initiative proposed by the Society of British Aerospace Companies--SBAC--contains a number of
very interesting projects, the aims of which are firmly supported by the MOD. My officials are now awaiting detailed submissions
from SBAC before evaluating the potential of these projects and the scope for incorporation into MOD plans.
