re , Third plan of action .( 1981-1983 ) ' in the field of information
     and documentation      1    -       .
 ---pagebreak---            The Commission proposal of 6th October 1980 concerning a
third plan of action ( 1981-1S83 ) in the field of scientific and -
technical information and documentation ( doc . COM(80 ) 552 ) has
been discussed by the European Parliament at its plenary session
of May 1981 ; the opinion of the Parliament is entirely favourable .
           The Parliament nevertheless requested two amendments to
the proposal for a Decision of the Council , by the deletion of the
words " scientific and technical ". This means that the scope of the
third plan of action would extend to information and documentation
as a whole , without being limited to the field of science and tech­
nology .
           The Commission thinks that these amendments are acceptable
because they only reflect the actual situation ; already , the reso­
lution of the Council and of the representatives of the Member
ftates meeting within the. Council for coordinating action by Member
States in the field of scientific and technical information and
documentation , adopted on 24th June 1971(x ), mentioned in its
first recital , " scientific , technical , economic and social documen­
tation and data " and this was constantly understood in the course
of the implementation of the first two three-year plans of action .
It should be pointed out that these amendements do not bring about
any changes of an organisational or of a budgetary nature .
           The Council is therefore requested to consider the attached
amendments to the proposal for a decision transmitted by the Com­
mission on 6th October 1980 .
