EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

On 30 April 1997, the Commission adopted its proposals for Decisions concerning
the 5th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, in
accordance with the EC and Euratom Treaties. At the end of July, the Commission
supplemented its proposals by including an overall amount of ECU 16.3 billion for
the 5th Framework Programme as a whole for the period 1998-2002.

The 5th Framework Programme is based on a new approach, the keywords of which
are concentration and flexibility. The Commission is convinced that research efforts
should, as a matter of priority, address issues of public concern (employment,
quality of life, competitiveness), and that only a limited number of themes should
be selected. in order to increase the impact of the measures and resources deployed.

The proposals have been examined by the two bodies involved in the eo-decision
process relating to the EC Framework Programme, namely the Council and
European Parliament, as well as by the Economic and Social Committee and the
Committee of the Regions. The latter two bodies have already issued favourable
opinions.

The European Parliament delivered its opinion on first reading on 17 and
18 December 1997. In order to expedite the discussions in Parliament and the
Council, the Commission has decided to revise its proposals, but without calling
into question the fundamental principles that have guided it in its work.
