WRITTEN QUESTION E-1138/98

by José Apolinário (PSE) to the Commission

(24 April 1998)

Subject: Research policy/Azores

In view of the specific nature of Portugal's Azores region (an extremely remote region which, as such, has a special status enshrined in the EU Treaty), would the Commission give details of the amount of Community support received by the region from the scientific and research budgets during the 1994-1999 period? What does the Commission envisage as regards the provision of such support during the 2000-2006 financial period?

Answer given by Mrs Cresson on behalf of the Commission

(28 July 1998)

A table showing the funding allocated from 1994 to 1997, under the fourth framework programme for research, to legal entities established in the Azores is being sent directly to the Honourable Member and to Parliament's Secretariat.

Pursuant to the Commission's proposal concerning the rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities and for the dissemination of research results for the fifth framework programme (1998-2002)(1), any legal entity established in the Azores will still be able to participate in indirect research and technological development (RTD) actions and receive Community funding under the conditions applicable to legal entities established in the Member States.

(1) COM(97) 587 final.
