 ---pagebreak---                   COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL
Subject :    Agreement on the extension of a concerted action project in the
             field of registration of congenital abnormalities (medical and
           , public health research ) to be concluded between the Community and
             the Swiss Confederation .
A concerted action project in the field of registration of congenital abnor­
malities ( medical and public health research ) was adopted by the Council on
13 February 1978 ( 1 ).
An agreement between the European Economic Community and the Hellenic
Republic , with a view to extending the coordination, which is the subject
of the Decision concerned , to corresponding research undertaken in that
State , was concluded by the Council on 24 July 1979 ( 2 ) and it entered into
force on 2 August 1980 .
On 1 August 1980 the Swiss Confederation acceded to the abovementionded
Agreement in accordance with Article 6 ( 3 ) thereof .                  N
                       "     i   '
Following the delay in the starting up of the abovementioned Community con­
certed action project and bearing in mind the status of the work relating
thereto, the Commission adopted and forwarded to the Council on 7 October
1980 a proposal for a decision with a view to extending for one year, i.e.
until 31 December 1981 , the duration of the concerted action project in
question . It is therefore necessary for the Agreement on this project with
the two abovementioned non-member States to be prolonged for the same period
Since the Hellenic Republic will become a Member of the Community on
1 January 1981 , this extension concerns only the Agreement between the
Community and the Swiss Confederation .                             v
As provided for in Article 6 ( 2 ) of Council Decision 78/ 167 / EEC of
13 February 1978 ( 1 ), the Commission has negotiated the abovementioned ex­
tension with Switzerland . The negotiations had the following results :
- the Agreement between the Community and the Swiss Confederation on a
    concerted action project in the field of registration of congenital
    abnormalities (medical and public health research ) will be extended for
    one year, i.e. until 31 December 1981 ;
- this extension will not give rise to any increase in financial commit­
    ments either of the Community or of Switzerland .
                         ' '   '                                          ■   !
                                                        \
Bearing in mind the advisability for the Decision concerning the extension
of the concerted Community project and the Agreement on the abovementioned
project to be simultaneously adopted , the Commission requests the Council
to adopt the draft decision appended hereto^
