Having regard to the oral report given to the above-

In the Committee's 1981 opinion (OJ No C 64, 
15.3. 1982) approving the proposed research and 
development programme (1982 to 1985) in the raw 
materials sector — of which overall programme the 
subprogramme on recycling of urban and industrial waste is an integral part 
tain observations. the Committee made cer-
It urged that the subprogramme lay particular 
emphasis on development and industrial appli­
cations; when the programme is reviewed the Com­
mission should provide a full account of progress to 
date and, at that time, any projects which are 
unlikely to be developed should be eliminated. 
With these same provisos, and noting that no extra 
budgetary credits are required, the Committee 
would support the present proposal to extend the 
research and development programme for the re­
cycling of urban and industrial waste, to 31 Decem­
ber 1985, merging it with the subprogramme on the 
recycling of non-ferrous metals which, too, is part of 
the programme in the raw material sector.
