THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1), presented after consultation, with regard to nuclear projects, of the Scientific and Technical Committee,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

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

Whereas, in the context of the common policy relating to the field of science and technology, the multiannual research programme is one of the principal means whereby the European Atomic Energy Community can contribute to the safety and development of nuclear energy and to the acquisition and dissemination of information in the nuclear field;

Whereas Article 2 of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community assigns to the Community inter alia the task of promoting throughout the Community a harmonious development of economic activities, a continuous and balanced expansion and increased stability; whereas the objectives of activities engaged in by the Community to this end are set out in Article 3 of the said Treaty;

Whereas the non-nuclear projects provided for by this Decision appear necessary for the attainment of these objectives;

Whereas on 14 January 1974 the Council adopted a resolution on the coordination of national policies and the definition of projects of interest to the Community in the field of science and technology (4);

Whereas the programme was drawn up in accordance with the Council resolution of 17 December 1970 concerning the procedures for adopting research and training programmes (5);

Whereas Article 3 of Council Decisions 77/488/EEC, Euratom (6) and 80/317/EEC, Euratom, (7) provides for a review of the programme during its third year;

Whereas it is of advantage to define and embody the common science and technology strategy in multiannual framework programmes setting out the complete range of scientific and technical activities being carried out or due to be carried out on the basis of the three Treaties; whereas this advantage was confirmed by the

Council in its resolution of 25 July 1983 on framework programmes for Community research, development and demonstration activities; and a first framework programme 1984 to 1987 (1);

Whereas, during the period 1984 to 1987, the Joint Research Council (JRC) must continue to play a central role in the Community's research strategy and to carry out work of common interest by drawing on a level of resources which is the equivalent of the present level;

Whereas, more generally, the JRC programme as a whole must be in keeping with the conclusions of the Council of 10 March 1983,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
