 underlines the importance of the development of research capacities
 oriented particularly towards food agriculture in the developing
 countries and of comp 1 ernentar i tv between the activities of

 undertaken in this field by the developing countries ;
 Whereas the Intergovernmental Committee for Science and Technology
 for Development ( ICSTD ) during its eighth session , from 2 to 6 June 1986
 adopted a resolution which invited industrialized countries to increase
 their research and development efforts in the sector of agriculture and
 related fields , including joint projects with developing countries .
 Whereas developing countries have become aware of the place of science­
           •   »
 and technology in the process of economic and social development ;
 whereas it is consequently important to facilitate the introduction
 of a scientific and technical dimension into the development activities
 of  the Community ,
 Whereas the research and development measures covered by this
 Decision relate to two particularly grave and urgent problems ,
 viz .   food and health , which are bound up with the fundamental
 needs of the developing countries .
 Whereas it is necessary to establish greater co-operation among
 scientists in the various Member States and the developing countries
with a view to facilitating the complementarity of research and
methodologies and ensuring easier access to the different networks
of scientific relationships established by the Member States with
 their third world partners .

i . Objective .;
            The aim of the Science and Technology for Development Programme
     is to promote increased scientific co-operation between the
    European Community and third world countries to their mutual benefit .
            The main objectives are to :
    - strengthen European research capacity in areas important for the
       economic and social development of the developing countries ;
    --develop research capacities in third world countries through
       active and effective links with European research institutes ,
       which would continue - after the period of Community financing ;
    - in the case of the agriculture sub-programme , produce results
       which could help to raise the living standards of the population
       in the developing countries ^ particularly the poorest sectors of
       the population ;                                            -
    - in the case of the medicine sub-programme , help to improve the
       health of that population , in particular through the prevention
       o:   disease ;
    - in the case of both sub-programmes , produce results which can
       be disseminated as quickly and efficiently as possible and used
                                                                               EN

         for the benefit of those institutions in the developing countries
        which are able      to derive benefit   therefrom ",
     - ensure coherence between the content of the research programme
        and the aims and activities of Community development aid programmes
        and the aid programmes of other donor countries ;
     -  stimulate     collaboration  and  co-ordination between research
        activities undertaken in the Member States concerning tropical
        environments ,    in order to  increase   the effectiveness of these
        activities ;
    - strengthen research teams in the developing countries , as regards
        both numbers ( by training ) and equipment .
2 . Scientific and       technical content
              The programme ,  for which the expenditure commitments are
    estimated at 80 MECU , comprises the following two sub-programmes :
    A.    Tropical and Sub-Tropical Agriculture sub-programme :
          ( The financial appropriation proposed , as an indication , for
          this sub-programme is 55 MECU )
          ( 1 ) improvement of agricultural products :
                - crop production :  food  crops ; agro-industrial crops , crop
                  genetics ;  crop protection ;
                - proteins of animal origin ; stock farming ; animal genetics

          Explanations of the Commission concerning the amendments adopted
                     by the European Parliament on 18 November 1987
                                  which it did not incorporate
                     ( Article 149 , Paragraph 2(2 ) of the EEC Treaty )
The nine amendments adopted by the European Parliament on a second reading at
its sitting of 18 November 1987 but not accepted by the Commission are
annexed .
1 . Amendments 1 , 2 , 3 , 10 and 11
    All these amendments relate to the legal form of the act .
    The Commission has not incorporated these amendments because a " Decision "
    is just as obligatory in its entirety for those to whom it is addressed as
    a " Regulation ".        The STD programme institutes rights and obligations only
    for the Member States and does not , therefore , require the form of a
    Regulation , which by its nature is of general and abstract application .
    The form of a Decision also makes for consistency with the legal form of
    the act of 28 September 1987 adopting a Community framework programme of
    research and technological development .
2 . Amendment 6
    The    Commission     considers    that  the provision  contained in  the Council 's
    common position is better and capable of becoming a model for the other
    proposals for specific programmes which it will submit in the future .
3 . Amendments 7 and 8
    The Commission was not able to accept these amendments in their entirety
    because , according to the Council Decision of 13 July 1987 laying down the
    procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the
    Commission ( 0J L 197 , 18.7.1987 ), the research management and coordination
    committees         are       to     remain    governed    by    Council     Decision
    84 / 333 / EURATOM / ECSC / EEC of 29 June 1984 .
4 . Amendment 9
    The European Parliament amended the text of the common position of the
    Council by deleting the phrase " subject to the consent of the contractors "
    from the second sentence of paragraph 2 .
    The Commission , like the Council , considers such consent indispensable ;
    given that the knowledge was acquired jointly within the context of a
    contract , it seems to it normal that its dissemination should be subject to
    the agreement of the other partners in the contract .
