COUNCIL DECISION of 16 March 1992 on a specific research and technological development programme in the field of human capital and mobility (1990 to 1994) (92/217/EEC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 130q (2) thereof,

Having regard to the modified proposal from the Commission (1),

In cooperation with the European Parliament (2)

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),

Whereas, by its Decision 90/221/Euratom, EEC (4), the Council adopted a third framework programme for Community activities in the field of research and technological development (1990 to 1994), specifying inter alia the activities to be pursued for the management of intellectual resources (human and mobility); whereas this Decision should be taken in the light of the grounds set out in the preamble to that Decision;

Whereas Article 130k of the Treaty stipulates that the framework programme is to be implemented through specific programmes developed within each activity;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 4 and Annex I of Decision 90/221/Euratom, EEC, the amount deemed necessary for the whole framework programme includes an amount of ECU 57 million for the centralized dissemination and exploitation of results, to be divided up in proportion to the amount envisaged for each of the actions;

Whereas in the context of this programme an assessment should be made of the economic and social impact as well as any eventual technological risks;

Whereas Decision 90/221/Euratom, EEC provides that a particular aim of Community research must be to strengthen the scientific and technological basis of European industry, and to encourage it to become more competitive at the international level; whereas that Decision also provides that Community action is justified where research contributes, inter alia, to the strengthening of the economic and social cohesion of the Community and to the promotion of its overall harmonious development, while being consistent with the pursuit of scientific and technical excellence; whereas this programme should contribute of the achievement of those objectives;

Whereas the training of young European scientists is one of the priorities of the third framework programme as is the mobility of research staff and the creation of scientific and technological research cooperation networks;

Whereas any action designed to exploit the potential of the Community's intellectual resources must essentially be of benefit to the scientists and researchers themselves;

Whereas a further objective of this programme should be to contribute to the creation of a 'researcher's Europe', through the europeanization of their advanced training, enabling it to take place in a Member State other than their state of origin;

Whereas a suitable application of the subsidiarity principle in this field implies the extending of training received by young researchers in their own country by enabling them, through traineeships made available by the Community, to develop a research activity in a team or laboratory of recognized quality situated in another Member State;

Whereas in order to increase and improve the supply of host opportunities, in would appear useful also to provide for networks of associated teams or laboratories of recognized quality and for possibilities for access to major installations;

Whereas the Joint Research Centre (JRC) with its laboratories and installations can effectively be included among those organizations capable of playing an important role in the training of young researchers and the setting up of networks and shall contribute...
