*Official Journal C 072 , 07/03/1997 P. 0024*

  

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2276/96 by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Council (27 August 1996)

Subject: Cancellation of the last Research Council

Can the Council give a credible explanation of why the last Research Council was cancelled?

Does it agree that suspicious individuals might conclude that this cancellation will help the diversion of the promised extra ECU 700 m from the re-financing of the 4th Framework programme into the financial blackholes of BSE and Bosnia?

Does it oppose such a mugging of the R& D budget?

Answer (13 December 1996)

The Honourable Member is referred to the reply which the Council gave at the plenary session on 23 October 1996 to Oral Question 0-172 put by Mr Scapagnini and also to the comments made during the debate on this subject.
