THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in
particular Article 130Q (2 ) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission/1)
In cooperation with the European Parliament
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, 1 >
Whereas the Community has as its task, by establishing a common market and progressively
approximating the economic policies of Member States, interaction to promote throughout
the Community a harmonious development of economic activity and close relations between
the Member States;
Whereas education and training will play a decisive role in the future economic development
of the Community, and whereas advanced information and telecommunications technologies
offer new and more effective means to support learning activities;
Whereas the Heads of State and Government, meeting in Stuttgart, Athens , Fontainebleau
and Brussels, emphasised the importance of strengthening the technology base and
competitiveness of industry and have underlined the necessity of making better use of human
resources by means of increased cooperation between higher education and industry
Whereas the Heads of State or of Government in their meeting of 28-29 June 1985 approved
and endorsed            the Commission Memorandum on the strengthening of technological
cooperation in Europe covering , among priority subjects on which to propose action, the
technologies of education and training
Whereas a better understanding of learning and training which can be met by learning
technology is beneficial for strategies in this domain;

 ---pagebreak---                                                        2
Whereas the European Parliament has emphasised repeatedly the importance it sees in
education and training for the future economic and social welfare of the Community, and
adopted in May 1983 a resolution (7) calling for greater efforts in education and training;
whereas the Parliament adopted on 11 November 1986 a Resolution inviting the Commission
to prepare an action for the utilisation of technology in education.(8)
Whereas the Economic and Social Committee has stressed the importance of using new
information and telecommunication technologies to maintain a highly skilled workforce
capable of adapting to changing job requirements, thereby making a contribution to the
reduction of unemployment caused by lack of skills;
Whereas, by its Decision of 87/516/Euratom/EEC^, the Council adopted a framework
programme of Community activities in the field of research and technological development
( 1987-1991 ) providing for research to be undertaken in the field of the application of
information technology and telecommunications to meet common social needs; whereas the
Framework Programme contains special provision for a Community action in the field of
educational technology^10);
Whereas the Council Decision of 28 September 1987 concerning the Framework Programme
for Community activities in the field of R&T&D^9) provides that a particular aim of
Community research shall be to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of European
industry especially in strategic areas of high technology and to encourage it to become more
competitive at international level and whereas the same decision further provides that
Community action is justified where research contributes inter alia to the strengthening of
the economic and social cohesion of the Community and the promotion of its overall
harmonious development, while being consistent with the pursuit of scientific and technical
quality; whereas it is intended that the DELTA action should contribute to the achievement
of these objectives;
Whereas the demand for education and training is steadily mounting , increases in diversity
and requires improvements in accessibility ; whereas progress in learning technology
coincides with the emergence of advanced communications services and equipment which can
be harnessed, at incremental cost, to support learning and thus to enable demand for training
and retraining to be met more economically;
Whereas learning technology represents a strategically important growth area for equipment
and services world-wide, being the subject of strongly focussed development and investment
efforts by other regions;
Whereas national and Community actions in information technologies, telecommunications
and standardisation lay the ground for introducing advanced learning support, yet additional
efforts will be required to realise the full potential of this new field;
Whereas the Council has adopted the Programme COMETT (86/365/EEC) strengthening
industry-university cooperation in education and training including the encouragement of
distance learning, and the COMETT programme would benefit from improvements in the
technologies, tools, equipment and infrastructure required to support distance learning (n);

1.  A Pilot Phase of a Community Action in the field of learning technologies, called
    DELTA , is adopted for an initial period of 18 months commencing 1 . June 1988 .
2. The action is designed to stimulate incremental research and development which will
   enable new technologies to be incorporated in the tools and infrastructure supporting
   advanced learning, in particular open and distance learning, in the Community. The
   action will be based on concertation with the corresponding activities of the Member
   States of the Community, in order to make available to the final users, at minimum cost
   and with minimum delay, the learning equipment and systems which will enable an
   increased demand for education , training and retraining to be met in the most
   economical way.
                                            Article 2
   The action shall consist of pre-normative and pre-competitive technology exploration as
   required for the objective of concerting European efforts in the domain of learning
   technology, building notably on RACE and ESPRIT work .
   The field of application of the action includes
        1 . Learning Systems Research
        2. Collaborative Development of Advanced Learning Technology
        3.   Testing and Validation
        4.   Interoperability

1. Projects relating to the Action shall be executed by means of shared cost contracts .
   Contractors shall be expected to bear a substantial proportion of the costs , which should
   normally be at least 50% of the total expenditure.
   Alternatively , in respect of universities and research institutes carrying out projects or
   actions, the Community may bear up to 100% of the additional expenditure involved.
2. The proposals for projects shall, as a rule, be submitted in reply to an open invitation to
   tender and involve the participation of at least two independent partners not all
   established in the same Member State. At least one of the partners shall be an industrial
   undertaking. Within each project at least one partner should represent training or
   learning interests . The invitation to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of
   the European Communities.

               enterprises and research establishments,
        (ii) only one independent partner,
        ( iii)  only independent partners established in the same Member State, or
        where an open tendering procedure would be unjustified on grounds of cost or
        efficiency, or
        where the amount of Community’s contribution to the cost does not exceed
        .25 MECU,
   it may be decided , in accordance with the procedures laid down in Article 8 , to depart
   from the general provisions set out in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article.
4. The contracts for all parts of the action shall be concluded with undertakings, including
   small and medium sized enterprises , publishing houses, universities , research
   establishments and other bodies established in the Community.
                                             Article 4

   Community European countries and the European Community have been concluded ,
   organizations and enterprises established in these countries may, in accordance with the
   procedures laid down in Articles 3 and 8 , become partners to a project undertaken
   within this action .
                                             Article 5
1. The funds estimated as necessary for the Community contribution to the execution of
   the Pilot Phase amount to 20 MECU over 18 months, including expenditure on staff
   (9A,2B,4C temporary officials).
2. The indicative allocation of these funds is set out in Annex I.
3. The final amount of appropriations and the number of staff shall be determined on the
   basis of decisions taken annually by the budgetary authority in accordance with real
   needs .
