Mr. Leigh

The Commission's proposal for the joint research centre's—(JRC)—1992–94 programme is currently being discussed by the council's working group on research. The United Kingdom has been pressing for more detailed information to be included in the draft Council decision on the technical content of the JRC's programmes and on how they will contribute to meeting the objectives of the third—1990–94—framework programme.
