European network for rural development At the same time as approving the first Leader II programmes, Mr Fischler also decided, as the result of a call for tenders, on the choice of a body which will assist the Commission in setting up the European Observatory for innovation and rural development and will take on a series of administrative and coordination tasks connected with the operation of the European Network for rural development which is the focus for the Leader II Initiative. The benefits provided by this body will be as follows: - collecting, preparing and disseminating information concerning, firstly, all the Community actions for rural development and, secondly, the innovative and demonstration schemes financed by the Leader II In ...[+++]itiative or from other sources; - making use of and processing the evaluation work relating to each regional or national Leader II programme; - running the European Network for rural development, through the medium of advanced communication techniques (electronic mail), various publications, meetings and events, and providing technical support for national networks and non-governmental organizations necessary for the smooth operation of Leader II; - providing technical assistance to government services and regional and local authorities in the field of rural development; - providing technical assistance to facilitate the launching of transnational rural cooperation projects planned under Leader II. Commenting on these decisions, Mr Fischler said: "I am happy to see Leader II, the new Community Initiative for rural development, now taking shape. I wish it all success, just as Leader I was successful.

The RTD activities proposed will be aimed at developing, on a shared-costs basis, not only these future materials (synthesis materials, superconducting alloys, composites, "intelligent" materials) but also new related technologies (molecular engineering, "nanotechnologies", waste recycling, etc. - Advanced propulsion technologies. Research will be conducted in the aircraft, motor vehicle, railway rolling stock and shipbuilding sectors in order to develop new and more efficient and environment-frendly propulsion and transmission systems. For example, lighter engines, energy-storage systems and new braking techniques will be developed. - R ...[+++]esearch concerning standards, measurement and testing. The relevant Community activities will be aimed at harmonizing measurement systems and standards needed for the smooth functioning of society. The research in question will also provide a scientific database essential for the application of Community directives and regulations, particularly concerning foodstuffs, the environment and safety at the workplace. There will also be flanking measures in order to enhance the spin-offs from the programme, especially for SMEs. Total estimated budget: ECU 1 575 million 3. Environment Environmental protection is one of the major concerns of the present day.
