      offering support under the Community support mechanism in the field

      Buro voor Systeemontwikkeling of Utrecht and Christian Rovsing of

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community ;
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 1996/79 of 11 September
1979 on a Community support mechanism in the field of data-processing
 ( 1 ) and in particular Article 8 thereof ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas the Commission has received an application for support for
a feasibility study for " multi-lingual facilities for videotex
information systems ", to be followed , if successful , by a pilot project
( hereinafter the project ) in response to its second call for proposals
for software and application projects from Buro voor Systeem-
ontwikkeling of Utrecht and Christian Rovsing of Copenhagen ;
Whereas the Commission has intended proceeding with the proposal and
has submitted accordingly to the Advisory Committee for the Management
and Coordination of Data-Processing Programmes a Draft Decision
accompanied by a report ;
Whereas the Committee did not give a favourable decision on the
Commission 's Draft Decision with the qualifying majority required by
the said Regulation ;
Whereas the project covered by the application corresponds with the
conditions of the said Council Regulation and with the aims and
criteria of the multiannual programme ( 1979 to 1983 ) adopted by the
Council in its Decision 79 / 783 / EEC ( 1 );
Whereas this project is likely to lead to the development of a system
which would include , in due course , firmware for videotex terminals
that will translate information from an unambiguous intermediate
language ( eg . Esperanto ) into a given natural language and , thus , help
to overcome the language barrier to the opening up of the Common Market
to the widespread provision of information services from initially
mono-lingual databases through videotex , and appears , therefore , to be
of Community interest within the terms of Article 3 of the said Council
Regulation ;
Whereas it is the Commission 's opinion that the proposers should
concentrate in the first instance on the problems posed by translation
from the intermediate language and that this point be covered in the
support contract ,
(1)     OJ L 231 of 13 September 1979 .
