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

(18 January 2000)

Subject: Priority given to research tasks relating to the Arctic and polar regions

What research tasks relating to the Arctic and polar regions have been identified as matters of priority by European Commission officials, or their advisers?

Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission

(10 February 2000)

Research tasks relating to polar regions (Arctic and Antarctic) are described in the work programme under the area 2.1.4 Climate variability and abrupt climate changes (e.g. hydrological cycle and its link to polar processes, quantification of its changes and its impacts on and interactions with cryosphere). In addition, research on stratospheric ozone and impacts in the Arctic remains an important research task (e.g. Theseo: Third European stratospheric experiment on ozone).
