promotion of scientific and technological cooperation particularly in the fields of climatology, meteorology, hydrology, water resource development and alternative energy sources;

Whereas discharges from certain industrial sectors of biodegradable industrial waste water not entering urban waste water treatment plants before discharge to receiving waters should be subject to appropriate requirements;

By bringing together resources from across the EU, it will aim to put European research in a leading position, opening the way or creating new scientific and technological developments.

Moreover, technological developments and in particular the advent of the Information Society lead to the conclusion that the territorial approach to some of these services is outdated and that they should be considered from a cross-border perspective.

HOWEVER , A NON-POTABLE WATER SUPPLY IS AUTHORIZED IN EXCEPTIONAL CASES FOR STEAM PRODUCTION , FIRE FIGHTING AND THE COOLING OF REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT , PROVIDED THAT THE PIPES INSTALLED FOR THIS PURPOSE PRECLUDE THE USE OF THIS WATER FOR OTHER PURPOSES AND PRESENT NO RISK OF CONTAMINATION OF FRESH MEAT.

In these geographical areas the SMEs (which very often may share a common technological level, the same production methods and approximately the same organisational and management systems) shall necessarily:

Whereas industrial waste water entering collecting systems as well as the discharge of waste water and disposal of sludge from urban waste water treatment plants should be subject to general rules or regulations and/or specific authorizations;

Member States shall ensure that, before 31 December 1993, the discharge of industrial waste water into collecting systems and urban waste water treatment plants is subject to prior regulations and/or specific authorizations by the competent authority or appropriate body.

However, newer products are more technically advanced and by reducing the environmental problem indirectly aimed at (emissions from electricity generation), they will not inevitably create or increase another environmental problem (e.g. water consumption, detergent use).

Whereas, in view of economic and technological developments in both the preparation of poultry and checks, and given that water content is of particular interest in the marketing of frozen or quick-frozen chickens, Community studies have indicated the need to adapt the relevant provisions;

DESIRING to establish a framework for the conduct of collaboration in scientific and technical research which will extend and strengthen collaboration in areas of common interest and encourage the application of results of such collaboration to the social and economic benefit of Australia and the Community,

The protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights should contribute to the promotion of technological innovation and to the transfer and dissemination of technology, to the mutual advantage of producers and users of technological knowledge and in a manner conductive to social and economic welfare, and to a balance of rights and obligations.

cooperation in the energy, transport, water and telecommunications sectors regarding policy, interconnection and interoperability of infrastructure and networks, the improvement of quality and reduction of cost of service provision, industrial cooperation including on industrial zones and research and technological development,

To assure Europe's strong positions in emerging technology markets, which are expected to grow by one or two orders of magnitude within the next decade, the various actors need to be mobilised through leading edge RTD partnerships, including high risk research and through integration between research on materials and industrial applications.

In particular, it shall ensure the promotion of cooperation and coordination between the associated bodies and guide their work, to the best advantage of the two Contracting Parties, towards the common objective defined in the Euratom programme and in the Swiss programme and in Article 1 of this Agreement, with due regard to any scientific and technological developments which may occur elsewhere in the world.

When implementing this strand the Commission will in particular ensure consistency and complementarity with the activities conducted by other Commission services or by European agencies; in particular, the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions and the Community RTD Framework programme and the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop).

in this context, the need to create an International Science and Technology Centre that would minimize incentives to engage in activities that could result in such proliferation, by supporting and assisting the activities for peaceful purposes of weapons scientists and engineers in the Russian Federation and, if interested, in other states of the CIS and Georgia;

Development of corporate applications will concentrate on the completion of phase III of the Meetings Management System (end of March), the continuing update of the corporate product database and tracking system SIAMED to include provisions of the new medicines legislation, and its migration to a different technical platform, and further work on a number of smaller systems such as the contracts database.

Moreover, the growing international dimension of the coal market and the global scale of the problems confronting it means that the European Union has to take a leading role in meeting challenges relating to modern techniques, mine safety and environmental protection at worldwide level by ensuring the transfer of know-how required for further technological progress, improved working conditions (health and safety) and enhanced environmental protection.

Member States shall ensure that by 31 December 2000 biodegradable industrial waste water from plants belonging to the industrial sectors listed in Annex III which does not enter urban waste water treatment plants before discharge to receiving waters shall before discharge respect conditions established in prior regulations and/or specific authorization by the competent authority or appropriate body, in respect of all discharges from plants representing 4 000 p.e. or more.

The research and technological development appropriations shall be used to carry out direct action, indirect action under the framework programme for research referred to in Article 166 of the EC Treaty, and the action referred to in Article 165 of that Treaty by participation in programmes and competitive activities conducted by the Joint Research Centre (JRC).
