 ---pagebreak--- "EUROTRA" is an evolutive machine-translation system designed to produce
high-grade translations quickly and economically in all the Community
language s simultaneously. It is to be developed by the Commission , the
authorities and research institutes in the Member States , and the European
computer industry working in close collaboration . The primary aim is to
lower the language barriers that hinder communication between the citizens
of Europe and reduce the Community 's competitiveness in the world .
The project springs from the cultural imperative of preserving the wealth
and variety of the European languages as the multiple expression of one
civilization ; it is also prompted by the need to draw nations closer
together by removing linguistic obstacles to communication , and to strengthen
Europe 's economic and cultural role in the world. Recent developments in
teleinformatics and the opening of the telecommunications and information
networks to the public have made it essential that this objective be
achieved .
On 4 November 1982 the Council adopted the research and development
programme for a machine -translation system of advanced design (EUROTRA.) ;
the Community 's financial participation in this programme is estimated
at 16 million ECU .
 In the course of the budget procedure , the Council and Parliament agreed
 on the appropriations to be entered against Article 754 for 1983 , bearing
 in mind the appropriations entered in Chapter 100 in 1982 . The national
authorities and the Commission will very shortly be launching the work
under contract and set up the graduate research teams necessary to
 implement phase 1 - once it has been adopted - within the two years set
by the Council in its decision on the programme .
