COOPERATION AGREEMENT between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Austria on research related to advanced materials (Euram) THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY,  hereinafter called ´the Community',  and THE REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA,  hereinafter called ´Austria',  both hereinafter called the ´Contracting Parties',  WHEREAS the Community and Austria concluded a Framework Agreement for scientific and technical cooperation which entered into force on 30 July 1987;  WHEREAS, by Decision of 10 June 1986, the Council of the European Communities adopted, for a period of four years from 1 January 1986, a research programme on materials which includes a subprogramme on advanced materials (Euram), hereinafter referred to  as ´the Community programme';  WHEREAS comprehensive research and development activities in the field of the materials sector are carried out in Austria;  WHEREAS the Contracting Parties expect to derive mutual benefit from cooperation in the field of research on the materials sector and to avoid useless duplication of effort;  HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:    Article 1 1.  The Community and Austria shall cooperate in the research areas covered by the Community programme as set out in the Annex.  2.  Coordination of the cooperation shall be the joint responsibility of the Commission of the European Communities, hereinafter referred to as the ´Commission' and of the Federal Ministry of Science and Research of Austria.  Article 2 The objective of the cooperation referred to in Article 1 (1) is to bring together the research efforts of the Contracting Parties with a view to deriving greater benefit from the respective expertise.  Article 3 1.  In order to implement the cooperation, persons and undertakings from Austria are hereby entitled to submit research projects, in the areas covered by the Community programme, in association with persons and undertakings from the Community.  The research projects shall indicate clearly the leadership of the project.  2.  Austrian persons and undertakings may be co-signatories of the related research contracts with the Commission.  Article 4 1.  For Austrian persons and undertakings the terms and conditions for the submission and evaluation of research projects and the terms and conditions for the granting and conclusion of research contracts under the Community programme shall be  the same as those applicable to persons and undertakings in the Community.  2.  However, the Austrian persons and undertakings shall bear the costs necessary to carry out the part, defined by them of the said research projects.  3.  The research contracts referred to in paragraph 1 shall lay down the rights and obligations of Austrian persons and undertakings.  4.  The Commission and the Federal Ministry of Science and Research of Austrial shall, in accordance with their existing procedures, jointly monitor the proper execution of the said research contracts.  Article 5 This Agreement shall apply, on the one hand, to the territories in which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty and, on the other hand, to the territory of the Republic of Austria.  Article 6 The Annex to this Agreement shall be an integral part thereof.
