EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The  Commission  adopted  and  transmitted  to  the  Council  on  18  February  1994  two 
proposals for rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities 
in the RTD programmes, one proposal covering the EC programmes and the other covering 
the  EAEC  programmes,  and  a  proposal  for  the  rules  for  the  dissemination  of  research 
results  from  the  specific  EC  programmes.  These  proposals  were  included  in  a  single 
document  COM(94)12. 

At  the  Plenary  session  on  5  May,  the  European  Parliament  has given  its  opinion  on the 
proposals  in accordance  with  paragraph 2  of Article  130  0  and Article  189  C of the EC 
Treaty, and Article  7 of the  EAEC Treaty. 

The European Parliament has approved the proposals of the Commission subject to three 
similar amendments for the participation rules for the EC and EAEC programmes, and two 
amendments for the dissemination rules. 

The Commission has accepted the substance of these amendments.  In accordance with 
the position taken by it before the European Parliament, and paragraph  2 of Articles  189 
A of the EC Treaty and  119  of the EAEC Treaty, the  Commission submits the following 
modified  proposals  relating  to the  participation  and dissemination  rules which  were  the 
subject of the  opinion of the  European Parliament on 5  May  1994.
