Subject : Proposals for a Council decision on the conclusion of the
            Agreements amending :
            - the Community-COST Concertation Agreement on a concerted
            , action project in the field of physico-chemical behaviour of
               atmospheric pollutants ( COST Project 61a bis ),
            - the Community-COST Concertation Agreement on a concerted
               action project in the field of analysis of organic micropol-
               lutants in water ( COST Project 64b bis ).
Two concerted action projects , one on the physico-chemical behaviour of
atmospheric pollutants and the other on the analysis of organic micro-
pollutants in water were adopted by the Council on 9 October 1978 ( 1 ).
Two Agreements between the Community and certain third States participating
in European Co-operation in the field of scientific and technical research
( COST ) in view of ensuring that the two above-mentioned concerted action
projects and the corresponding programmes of these States are harmonized
were concluded by the Council on 18 December 1979 ( 2 ). These two
Agreements entered into force on 1st April 1980 and will terminate on
3 November 1982 . Yugoslavia , Austria , Switzerland and Sweden are partici­
pating in the Agreement on the concerted action project in the field of
physico-chemical behaviour of atmospheric pollutants ( COST Project 61a bis ).
Spain , Yugoslavia , Norway , Portugal , Switzerland and Sweden participate
in the Agreement on the concerted action project in the field of analysis
of organic mi cropol lutants in water ( COST Project 64b bis ).

By its decision 81 / 213/ EEC of 3 March 1981 ( 3 ), the Council adopted
a sectorial research and development programme in the field of environment
( environmental protection and climatology ) including the above-mentioned
concerted action projects . Article 1 of this decision lays down that
these concerted action projects , which were to terminate on 3 November 1982 ,
end on 3 December 1983 . It is therefore necessary for the two Agreements
to be prolonged for the same period .
As provided for in Article 8 ( 2 ) of Decision 81 / 213/ CEE ( 3 ) the Commission
has negociated these prolongations with the above listed         Third States .
The negociations had the following results :
- the two Community-COST Concertation Agreements on the concerted action
    projects COST 61a bis and 64b bis will be modified accordingly
- the financial contribution by the Parties to the Agreements shall toe :
     1 ) for the Agreement on the concerted action project in the field of
         physico-chemical behaviour of atmospheric pollutants ( COST Project
         61a bis ) :
              - 140.000 ECUs from the Community
                   5.500 ECUs from each Third State .
    2 ) for the Agreement on the concerted action project in the field of
         analysis of organic mi cropol lutants in water ( COST Project 64b bis ) :
              - 167.000 ECUs from the Community
                   8.000 ECUs from each Third State .
The Commission requests the Council to adopt the draft decisions
appended hereto .
