 ---pagebreak---                                         REASONS
Since 1977 "the problem of encouraging industrial innovation has given rise
to growing and legitimate concern, in the Community as well as in non–member
countries . The Commission^ departments therefore prepared a study of the
problem of innovation and possible directions for Community policy . As a
follow-up to this study | a group of government experts was appointed to
carry out a first exploratory programme in conjunction with the Commission .
The first item on this programme is to compare national and Community
measures .    An inventory of measures and departments has been drawn up ;  it
shows a wide range of initiatives , measures taken and departments set up
which , in the opinion of the experts themselves , are too numerous , often
too weak and too disparate *
In the light of this inventory and the conclusions , it is essential to
carry out forthwith a number of measures at Community level in accordance
with the programmes laid down.
 The measures to be given priority at this stage fall under the following
 three heads and are the logical extension to the work down in 1978s
 ( l ) The bringing together of demand in the Community for new technologies
       and services and studies within the framework of a standing
       technological conference of local authorities in the European
       Community ; and secretariat costs                              65 000 EUA
 ( 2 ) Services and studies to promote technological innovation,
                                    I i
       for example in small and medium-sized undertakings and
       by calling upon technical advisory services                    50 000 EUA
 ( 3) Basic services and studies concerning other general
       measures designed to promote industrial innovation,
       particularly in the legal , financial and fiscal fields        35 000 EUA
                                                TOTAL :              150 000 EUA
 Accordingly , in order to launch these measures , the Commission requests that
 the Budgetary Authority authorize the transfer of 150 000 EUA from the
 appropriations provided for this purpose in Chapter 100 ( point 1 6 in the
 remarks column) to Item 3611 of the Budget for 1979 *
