§ Mr. ChannonAt the third EUREKA ministerial conference on 30 June, Ministers from 18 European countries and a member of the Commission of the European Communities welcomed the accelerating momentum of EUREKA. They announced 62 new EUREKA projects over and above the 10 announced at the second ministerial conference in November 1985, and agreed to set up a small independent secretariat in Brussels under M. Xavier Fels who will serve on secondment from the French Government.
In addition they endorsed procedures for work in EUREKA on collaborative projects and emphasised the need to identify appropiate measures to remove market obstacles to the success of EUREKA projects. They took note of continuing work in EUREKA to encourage management development on a Europewide basis, and on the possible provision of a clearing house for information on sources of venture capital for EUREKA projects.
Iceland, as the last remaining member of EFTA, became a member of EUREKA. The EUREKA chairmanship has now been passed to Sweden.
