Printed in the Federal Republic of Germany Foreword
This publication is the first volume of a collection which will include all the agreements
concluded within the framework of European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and
Technical Research, better known by its abbreviation COST.
There are 19 participant States in this form of cooperation, which was inaugurated in
1969 at the initiative of the Council of the European Communities, namely:
Belgium — Denmark — Federal Republic of Germany — Greece — Spain — France —
Ireland — Italy — Yugoslavia — Luxembourg — Netherlands — Norway — Austria —
Portugal — Switzerland — Finland — Sweden — Turkey — United Kingdom.
It enjoys special arrangements for cooperation with the Community as such, which,
moreover, provides it with secretariat and infrastructure services.
The fields covered by COST cooperation in this volume are as follows:
1. Informatics
2. Telecommunications
3. Transport
4. Oceanography
5. Metallurgy and materials science
6. Environmental protection
7. Meteorology
8. Agriculture
9. Food technology
The COST agreements are divided into four separate categories of cooperation:
CATEGORY I:
Community R&D programmes, adopted on the basis of the Treaties establishing the
Communities, in which non-Community COST States may be involved;
CATEGORY II:
projects initiated within the COST framework and in which the Community as such par­
ticipates alongside the non-Community COST States;
CATEGORY III:
projects initiated within the COST framework and in which the Community as well as its
Member States and the non-Community COST States participate;
CATEGORY IV:
projects initiated within the COST framework and in which COST States, whether or
not members of the Community, participate, but not the Community as such.
The COST agreements take very varied legal forms, ranging from international conven­
tions in the classical sense to Memoranda of Understanding, the latter constituting an
original instrument evolved within the COST framework itself. More detailed information on COST cooperation is contained in a booklet published by
the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Communities in November 1981.
We hope that this collection will meet the desires frequently expressed by all those in­
terested in COST cooperation.
