             COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL
SUBJECT : Proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of an Agreement
           between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden
           extending and amending the Cooperation Agreement on a European
           research and development programme in the field of the recycling
          of urban and industrial waste
A multi-annual research and development programme (1979 to 1983) in the field
of the recycling of urban and industrial waste (secondary raw materials) was
adopted by the Council on 12 November 1979 (1).
A Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the
Kingdom of Sweden aiming at associating this country with the above mentioned
Community programme was signed by the two parties on 16 June 1982 and entered
into force on 1 July 1982. This Agreement will expire on 31 October 1983.
By its decision 82/402/EEC of 17 May 1982 (2) the Council adopted a research
and development programme (1982 to 1985) in the raw material sector, which
includes the current programme in the field of the recycling     urban and
industrial waste. A draft decision modifying the Decision 82/402/EEC and
implying the continuation until 31 December 1985 of the research and develop­
ment programme in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste as
a part of the sub-programme in the field of recycling of the non-ferrous
metals has just been presented to the Council for adoption (3).
Since the contracting parties, namely the Community and the Kingdom of Sweden,
have a common interest in continuing their cooperation in the field of the
recycling of urban and industrial waste, it is desirable that the above
mentioned Cooperation Agreement be renewed for the period from 1 November 1983
to 31 December 1985.

(2) OJ n° L 174, 21.6.1982, p. 23
(3) COM (83) 540 final
 ---pagebreak--- As provided for in Article 7 (2) of Decision 82/402/EEC, the Commission
has negotiated the said renewal with Sweden. The negotiations have led to the
following results :
- the Cooperation Agreement on a European research and development programme
  in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste will consequently
  be amended;
- the financial contribution of the Parties to the Agreement will be :
        - 2.500.000 ECU by the Community. This amount constitutes the part of
          the total budget of 6.5 M ECU allocated to the sub-programme on
          the recycling of non-ferrous metals and of urban and industrial
          waste that the Commission intends to devote to the implementation
          of the research dealing with the recycling of urban and industrial
          waste.
        - 105.000 ECU by Sweden. This amount is calculated in accordance
           with the method of calculation applied in the previous Cooperation
           Agreement, i.e. by applying to the Community contribution the ratio
           between the gross domestic product of the Community and of Sweden
           for 1980.
 The Commission hereby requests the Council to adopt the attached draft
 decision.
