on the conclusion of the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden extending and amending the Cooperation Agreement on a European research and development programme in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste
C0MC83) 577 final
COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL
SUBJECT : Proposal for a Council Decision on the conclusion of an Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden extending and amending the Cooperation Agreement on a European research and development programme in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste
A multi-annual research and development programme (1979 to 1983) in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste (secondary raw materials) was adopted by the Council on 12 November 1979 i.
A Cooperation Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden aiming at associating this country with the above mentioned Community programme was signed by the two parties on 16 June 1982 and entered into force on 1 July 1982. This Agreement will expire on 31 October 1983.
By its decision 82/402/EEC of 17 May 1982 (2) the Council adopted a research and development programme (1982 to 1985) in the raw material sector, which includes the current programme in the field of the recycling oj- urban and industrial waste. A draft decision modifying the Decision 82/402/EEC and implying the continuation until 31 December 1985 of the research and development programme in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste as a part of the sub-programme in the field of recycling of the non-ferrous metals has just been presented to the Council for adoption (3).
Since the contracting parties, namely the Community and the Kingdom of Sweden, have a common interest in continuing their cooperation in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste, it is desirable that the above mentioned Cooperation Agreement be renewed for the period from 1 November 1983 to 31 December 1985.

(2) OJ n° L 174, 21.6.1982, p. 23
(3) COM (83) 540 final
As provided for in Article 7 (2) of Decision 82/402/EEC, the Commission has negotiated the said renewal with Sweden. The negotiations have led to the following results :
- the Cooperation Agreement on a European research and development programme
in the field of the recycling of urban and industrial waste will consequently be amended;
- the financial contribution of the Parties to the Agreement will be :
- 2.500.000 ECU by the Community. This amount constitutes the part of the total budget of 6.5 M ECU allocated to the sub-programme on the recycling of non-ferrous metals and of urban and industrial waste that the Commission intends to devote to the implementation of the research dealing with the recycling of urban and industrial waste.
- 105.000 ECU by Sweden. This amount is calculated in accordance
with the method of calculation applied in the previous Cooperation Agreement, i.e. by applying to the Community contribution the ratio between the gross domestic product of the Community and of Sweden for 1980. ■
The Commission hereby requests the Council to adopt the attached draft decision.
