WRITTEN QUESTION E-0600/97 by Alex Smith (PSE) to the Commission (27 February 1997)

Subject: Criteria for contracts on nuclear safety

What criteria were adopted in choosing the contractors for the research projects sponsored under the Nuclear Fusion Safety Programme 1994-1998, as published in report EUR 16980 EN? Did any non-governmental research groups, aside from universities, apply for any of the research projects in research areas A-E respectively? Will the Commission take steps to encourage environmental NGOs to participate in the programme?

Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission (1 April 1997)

The evaluation criteria applied for selecting projects for the nuclear fission safety programme 1994-1998 concern conformity with the scope and objectives of the programme and transnational cooperation as well as the technical criteria, scientific and technical excellence and innovation, quality of the project management, cost effectiveness of the proposal, European dimension and related benefits and exploitation and dissemination plans.

A considerable number of proposals involving non-governmental research groups (industry, consultants and small and medium enterprises) have been submitted and accepted.
