In a landmark vote on 15 May 2002 in Strasbourg the European Parliament approved the Commission's proposal for next EU Research and Development Framework Programme (FP6). FP6 represents the third operational budget line within EU overall budget, after Common Agricultural Policy and Structural Funds. It will be instrumental in achieving the March 2000 Lisbon European Council goal of turning Europe into the world's most competitive knowledge-based economy by 2010. It will also greatly contribute to the creation of the European Research Area (ERA). |
