In1990 itheabsence ofaCommunity Budget until July ,owing to
theconflict between theCouncil andtheEuropean Parliament ,created
considerable difficulties fortherunning oftheProgramme and
particularly theimplementation oftheCommon Activities ,(research 1.
*
projects )ofthenewprogrammes .Until a1980 budget wasaccepted ,
operations hadtoproceed onamonthly budgeting basis (one-twelfth of
the1979 budget ). Despite this severe constraint ,90#oftheincreased
1980 budget wasspent .Thebreakdown wasasfollows :

Thetotalbudgetforcoordinated agricultural researchwithintheCommunity
remainsextremely small(approximately 1%oftheCommission 'sexpenditure
onresearch anddevelopment ).Despitethisandtheparticular difficulties
in1980mentioned above,considerable progress hasbeenmadeinimproving
communications betweenscientists ,inthemoreeffective useofresearch-
resources through acooperative approach,andinthepursuitofresearch
programmes whichhaveimportant significance totheCommunity asanentity.
\
Highlights ofthe10programmes
1.LandUseandRuralDevelopment .
Thisprogramme differsfrommostoftheothersinthatithasastrong
socio-economic component .Itistherefore necessarily acomplexprogramme
thathasrequired alotofdiscussion andplanning buthasnowbeen
rationalised withinthreemainthemes :
-Landresource evaluation
-Landresource development andconservation
-Integrated ruraldevelopment
AseminarheldatWexfordintheRepublic ofIrelandattheendof1978
highlighted theneedforasoilmapasabasicrequirement leadingto
ameaningful agro-ecological mapofEurope.Suchamapcoveringall
MemberStatesplusGreece,Portugal andSpainisnowinanadvanced

map(scale1:1m)willGototheprinters in1982.Thepreparation ofa
4
foragemapisnowunderdiscussion andothersubjectsformappingwhich
mayfollowareforestry andmajoragricultural cropssuchascereals.
LandResource Evaluation withintheCommunity ishampered bythevarying
methodsoflandassessment currently employed indifferent MemberStates.
Therefore,fivemethodology projects areinprogress,andworkshops
havebeenarrangedforthepurposeofmakingrecommendations onauniform
landevaluation methodology andtheneedforcomputerised landusedata.
TheLandResource Development andConservation partoftheprogramme
haseightresearchprojectscoveringmultiple landuse,drainage and
reclamation ,andsoildegradation .Amajorseminaronsoildegradation

forresearch atCommunity level.

2.Mediterranean Agriculture
BecausetheAgrimed programme concerns aspecific arearatheothana
trans-Community subjectandbecause-liketheLandUseprogramme -it
isconcerned withsocio-economic difficulties inadisadvantaged area
aswellasscientific research/ithashaditsownpeculiar problemsof
planning andorganisation .However,althoughstillsomewhat diversein
subjectmatter,ithasnowemergedwithclearcutobjectives andthisin
itselfisasignificant achievement inthetimetaken.
Twomajorpartsoftheprogramme concerntheintegration ofsheep
(mainlyformilkproduction )withforestry andtheimprovement offield
crops(cereals,forages andoil/proteincrops)intheregion.Thereare
particular problems relatedtotheeffective useofnitrogenous fertiliser
inthecontextofthesequence ofcropscommonly usedinthe
Mediterreanean area,sothishasbeenselected asaprojectsubject.
.Forageseedproduction isalsobeinggivenattention . ,
Goodcollaboration amongdifferent laboratories intheMemberStates
hasbeendeveloped asrequests problems posedbythenewregulation
ontheutilization ofconcentrated residues fromwinegrapes.
Fruitfulcollaboration isbeingestablished among26Institutes .
intheCommunity tostandardize thedropirrigation offruittreeswitha
viewtosavingwaterandenergy.
Othersubjects beingcoveredbytheAgrimedprogrammes relateto
oriental tobaccocultivated inSouthernItaly(animportant meeting -
heldatScafatiand.Lecce hadpermitted toscientists andgrowersto
discussthemainproblems inproductivity improvement )andtoCyprfls

3.Agricultural WasteandtheEffluent fromIntensive Livestock Systems
Whathadbeenaprogramme oneffluent fromlivestock-concerned with
theefficient useofnutrientsforcropjroduction aswellasenvironmental
aspects-broadened in1979-80toincludesomeotherfarmwastematerials

(suchasstraw)andfoodindustry wastes(suchasresiduesfromfactory
processing ofolivesandpotatoes).
Atthisstage,someover-tapping begantooccurbetweenthisprogramme and
theR&Dprogramme inthefieldofrecycling ofurban,industrial and
agricultural waste(secondary rawmaterials),managed bytheDirectorate -
GeneralforScience,Research andDevelopment .Itwastherefore decidedthat
fromJanuary 1981onwards ,onlivestock effluents wouldbediscontinued ,with
theexception ofresearch onanaerobic digestion,thelatter,withvegetable
wastes,tobetransferred tothewasterecycling programme .
Theremaining portionofthebudgetisbeingmadeavailable foranewprogramme

Theachievements oftheprogrammeinrespectofanimalwasteswerediscussed
ataseminarinGermanyinOctober 1979andtheproceedings havebeen
published underthetitle"Effluents fromLivestock "(EUR ,6633).
Theresultsofastudydoneundertheprogramme intheNetherlands havebeen
published bytheCommission underthetitle"Thespreadingofanimalexcrement
onutilizedagricultural areasoftheCommunity ."-Aworkshopisplannedfor
Spring1981todiscuss apractical guideforfarmerswhichisbeingproduced
fortheCommunity byworkersintheNetherlands ,drawinguponthepublished
findings oftheeffluents programme .
Inadditiontoworkonthetechniques ofspreading effluents andthevalueof
nutrients inthem,theprogramme hascontributed scientific findingstothe
debateonthebuildupofcopperinsoils.Thisrelatesmainlytoexcreta
frompigsfedcopperadditives andtotheintensive useofcopperfungicides
oncrops,notablyBordeauxMixtureonvines.Astheresultofevidence

theimplemerlation ofaCommission Directive reducingthepermissible level
ofcopperinpigfeedshasbeenpostponed untilNovember 1981.
AnimalPathology
TheAnimalPathology Programme continues tobeaveryimportant sectionof
theoverallProgramme ofCoordinated Agricultural Research.Ofthefourtopics
nowincluded,BovineLeukosis andAfricanSwineFevercontinued fromthe
earlierperiodandtwoothersarenew.Theselatterareconcerned withthe
protection

-7-
ofyounganimalsfromperinatal diseases andwithcommunicable diseases
(fromanimaltoanimalandfromanimalstomanthroughthestorage,
handling,transport andland-spreading ofmanure).
Thecommon(research )programme onbovineleukosis wasbroughttoan
endin1979havingachieved theobjective ofasimplestandardised test
forearlydiagnosis .InMarch1980atraining coursewasheldin
Copenhagen ondiagnosis usingtheELISATest.Thebovineleukosis
programme hasachieved excellent results andmuchknowledge hasbeen
acquired,buteradication remains aproblem.Inordertoevaluate the
different proposals foreradication ,betterdiagnostic methodsare
stillneededandit>sconsidered important thatscientists workingin
thisareashouldconsider tomeetatseminars andworkshops todiscuss
theirresults.
Eradication isalsotheaimoftheAfrican SwineFeverworkwhichis
largelyconcentrated inSpainattheCEC'sreference centreinMadrid
andinPortugal atalaboratory inLisbon.During1980threeexperts
visitedtheinfected areaofSardinia ;atraining courseondiagnostic
techniques washeldinMadrid;andtherewasaworkshoptodiscussthe
methodology ofdiagnosis andthe.spreadofthediseasebycarriers .
Research projectsintoperinatal diseases ofyounganimalsstartedinlate
1980.Aseminar oncommunicable diseases ofanimals andmanviaeffluents
washeldinHanoverinNovember .Itisplannedthatthecommonprogramme
•shouldrunduring1982and1983andshouldconcentrate onCampylobacter
andListeriosis ,withspecialattention toamodelling approach.
5.Improving theProductivity ofBeefHerds
Inthissecondphaseofthebeefprogramme,thescaleofcontracts has
beencutdownandemphasis hasbeenongivingfundingtohelpfinish
promising work.Allcontracts endin1980.Therehavebeenfourworking
groupsconcerned withgenetics,nutrition andmanagement ,meatand
carcassquality,andphysiology ofreproduction .

Oneofthemoreinteresting meatresearchprojects demonstrates well
theadvantage ofaCommunity-based programme .EightMemberStates
cooperated inaneatingqualitytest-whichwascoordinated bythe
MeatResearch Institute intheU.K.
'Animportant objective ofthisworkistpachieve astandard method
oftesting andsubstantial progress hasbeenmadeinthisdirection .
Theprogramme isalsoworkingtowards astandard methodology for
evaluating bacteriological qualityofmeat.
6.Integrated andBiological PestControl
Theoverall aimistodevelop methodsofeffective croppestcontrol
whichminimise theuseofchemicals,thusavoiding riskstohuman
healthandtheenvironment andreducing growers' costs.Theprogramme
isconcentrating onfruit,vegetables andcereals.

7.Improving PlantResistance (andgenebanks)
Thisprogramme hastwodistinctobjectives :
-theachievement oflong-lasting resistance todiseasethroughplant
breeding; ;
-moreeffective useofgenebanksthroughimprovedcoordination and
standardisation ofprocedures anddescriptions .
Todateamainemphasis hasbeenplacedondrawing -"updescriptor lists

Theworkonlistsforcereals,grasses,legumesandstrawberries is
nowinanadvanced stage;asmallamountofworkhasbeendonewith
potatoes .
Acommonactivity involving thecollection ofplantmaterial of
brassicae,winterbarleyandgrasses (withintheCommunity only)
isabouttostart.
Astheresultofaseminar ondocumentation andinformation forgene
banksheldatBraunschweig ,Germany,andasubsequent meetingatthe
Germplasm Institute inBari,Italy,theCommission wasaskedto
assistinresolving problems ofcommunication ofdatabetween
existing genebankswhichusedifferent dataprocessing systems.
Itwasalsoresolvedtotrytoavoidsuchproblems inthefutureby

Community .
In1979,itwasdecidedtoselectwinterbarleytobeevaluated for
