WRITTEN QUESTION P-1578/01

by Linda McAvan (PSE) to the Commission

(21 May 2001)

Subject: Fifth framework projects in the Yorkshire and Humberside region

Can the Commission please provide a breakdown of the regional distribution and the level of funding of Fifth framework projects in the Yorkshire and Humberside region of the United Kingdom? Does the Commission prioritise assisted areas (Objective 1 and 2) when allocating funding for research programmes?

Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission

(28 June 2001)

Data on funding of the Fifth framework Research and Technological Development (RTD) programme projects in the Yorkshire and Humberside regions will be sent directly to the Honourable Member and to the Parliament's Secretariat.

The Fifth framework (RTD) Programme is implemented through competitive calls for proposals addressed to the academic and industrial research community, published widely and open to participation from all regions of Europe, including in the Member States associated to the programme. Potential research actors are encouraged to come together in transnational cooperation consortia, in submitting proposals. These proposals are evaluated, on the basis of clearly established selection criteria, by independent experts. The focus is on the inherent qualities of the proposal without any consideration to the geographical region in which one or other of the participants is placed.
