She also delivered a speech to a wider audience in Bonn on the development of EU­supported research in the aerospace field, in particular in the context of the forthcoming Fifth Framework Programme. The meeting should contribute to developing the Key Action on "Aerospace" planned for the specific programme on "Promot­ing Competitive and Sustainable Growth". This will form part of the Fifth RTD Framework Programme, presently under discussion in the Council and Parliament. Aerospace represents an important sector of the European Union's economy, employing over one and a half million people. The European aerospace industry has an overall turnover of ECU 35,000 million, of which ECU 15,000 million stems from exports. It is also an advanced technology field in which Europe is in a position to compete with the USA throughout the world.
