Mr. Matthew Bramley: I hesitate in responding to that because obviously you have to go and look at the plans in detail, and it isn't something I've personally done, to go and look at the plans of countries X, Y, and Z.

In the light of the discussions, the President summarized the conclusions as follows: "The Council recognized that greater coordination between national and Community RTD policies could be achieved in pursuit of the objectives laid down by the Treaty, in particular the desirability of Community added value, taking account of the desirability of promoting stimulating competition between the Member States: - with regard to determining RTD policies, such coordination could be based on better use of the existing structures, namely the specific programme committees (whose duties could be extended to include exchanging information on national ...[+++]RTD policies) and the reformed CREST, one of whose main tasks would be to contribute to the coordination of the RTD activities of the Community and the Member States; - with regard to the carrying out of research activities, the role of the programme committees continued to be important in improving cross-programme coordination.
