GMES: development of satellite-based and in-situ monitoring and early-warning systems, including for the safety of citizens, and techniques relating to the management of the environment and security (including the management of natural disasters) and their integration with ground-based, ship-borne and airborne components; support for the integration, harmonisation, use and delivery of GMES data (both satellite-based and in-situ, including ground-based ...[+++], shipborne and airborne) and services.

As well as assisting technical standardisation with existing systems, cooperation is essential for penetrating markets and developing ground based equipment.

Particular consideration, however, will be given to operations that promote the following: (a) conservation of primary tropical forests and their biodiversity and renewal of tropical forests which have been damaged, supported by analysis of the underlying causes of deforestation and taking into account differences between countries and regions and measures to address them; (b) sustainable management of forests designated for the production of timber and other products, but excluding commercial logging operations in primary tropical forests, except those which are community-based, on a small scale, sustainable, environmentally sound and implementing sustainable forest management; (c) the definition and ...[+++]development of certification systems, combined with independent assessment systems, for timber produced from tropical forests according to sustainable forest management principles as part of internationally harmonized certification systems envisaged for all kinds of timber and timber products; (d) provision of prior information to forest peoples, followed by their support for the identification, planning and implementation of actions; (e) capacity-building to address the needs for training schemes for local populations, forest managers and researchers, for legislation, for increased political and social support and institutional strengthening and for organizations and associations active in forest conservation; (f) a strategic and adapted research policy aimed at supplying the knowledge required for the conservation and sustainable management of forests and also for the implementation of research monitoring activities in the framework of projects and programmes; (g) development of buffer zones to assist the conservation or regeneration of tropical forests, as part of a broader land utilization plan; (h) development and implementation of forest management plans aimed at conserving tropical forests and promoting sustainable exploitation of timber and other forest ...

Action will focus on: (i) increasing the productivity of traditional agriculture (leading to an improvement in family diet) by the introduction of new small scale irrigation methods, credit and extension work; (ii) strengthening basic infrastructure - particularly in the health sector - and improving communications and access to drinking water; (iii) environmental protection, by measures to halt deforestation, introduction of agro-forestry and soil conservation methods, and the development of systems designed to ...[+++] promote fuel saving; (iv) to improve the living conditions of women through the development of craft industries producing utility articles, by making it easier to acquire essential goods, and through improved medical care.

The European Community runs various activities in the different sectors concerned as part of its numerous research cooperation programmes: Brite/Euram (industrial and material technologies); Mast (marine sciences and technology); and research programmes in the fields of the environment, fisheries and energy, etc. 1 The press file for the conference can be had from office BREY 6/41. - 2 - The conference will provide an opportunity for taking stock of the state of progress and initial results of a number of projects currently under way: projects to develop composite materials for offshore platforms and to apply computer ...[+++] assisted design methods to shipbuilding (Brite/Euram programme); projects to study the natural variability of and changes in benthic ecosystems (fauna and flora connected with the seabed) (Mast programme); "Eros 2000" project to study pollution at river mouths; study of eutrophication (pollution due to algae) of coastal waters (Environment programme); development of systems to optimize shipping routes (pilot projects in the field of energy); activities of the Joint Research Centre on the study of the sea by remote sensing, etc.
