2. According to the IRDAC Opinion on skills shortages in Europe, the supply side of the labour and skills market is largely determined by the potential labour force which in turn is dependent on the demographic situation and its evolution.

The Memorandum is seen as responding to one of the key recommendations of IRDAC in its report on "Skills Shortages in Europe" and as complementing the Commission's work on "Vocational Training Policies for the 90's" and on "Higher Education in the European Community".

It is foreseen that the EEA Agreement will be quickly extended to the specific programmes of the EC's 4th Framework Programme (1994- 1998) through the "EEA Joint Committee" established in the Agreement. 3. This cooperation implies: a) the same rights and obligations between EEA-EFTA and EU participants in all phases of research projects belonging to the non-nuclear specific programmes of the 3rd Framework Programme, i.e.: - the EEA-EFTA participants will also receive EC funding; - to be eligible, any project proposed by one or more EEA- EFTA participants should include at least one EU participant. - the project leader may come from an EEA-EFTA country; 3 b) the full participation of EEA-EFTA representatives in programme committees, excep ...[+++]t for voting rights; c) the association of EEA-EFTA representatives with the work of the Joint Research Centre's Board of Governors and of consultative bodies such as CREST, IRDAC and CODEST; d) a financial contribution of the EEA-EFTA countries, (proportional to their GDP) to the specific programmes concerned.

On Friday, 9 December, several representatives of European industry, and in particular Mr Farge, the Chairman of IRDAC, will take part in a concluding discussion.
