§ 45. Mr. Michael Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what progress has been made on the EUREKA programme.
§ Mr. PattieThe EUREKA initiative was launched in July 1985. Substantial progress has already been achieved in making EUREKA a practical framework to encourage European industrial collaboration on high technology projects. I hope that this will be noted and endorsed by the next EUREKA ministerial conference in London on 30 June, to which we expect that a substantial number of new collaborative projects will be reported.
