WRITTEN QUESTION E-2835/99

by Eija-Riitta Korhola (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(18 January 2000)

Subject: Areas of the Fifth Framework Programme open for Calls for Proposals on Research

Does the Commission restrict the areas of the Fifth Framework Programme open for Calls for Proposals on Research from year to year, and if so, on what basis for example, is this done for administrative convenience, or because the resources are too limited, or because it believes that EU-supported research projects are sufficient to provide the comprehensive understanding needed for all relevant areas of climate change?

Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission

(11 February 2000)

The areas of the Fifth framework programme open for calls for proposals are discussed with the expert advisory group and the programme management committee considering the available budget and policy relevance of the themes. For instance, the sub-theme Mitigation and adaptation to global change has been reopened in the current call for proposals, in order not to lose time in the post-Kyoto process.
