particular regard to the contribution to one or more of the following (as

laid down in Council Decision): the needs of other Community policies in

support of which the RTD actions are carried out; providing appropriate

incentives for maintaining and creating jobs in the Community; promoting

sustainable development and improving the quality of life in the Community;

strengthening the international competitiveness of Community industry; the

existence of S&T co-operation agreements between the Community and third

countries or international organisations.

Substantial added value may refer for example to cases where the third

country participant is a generally recognised, top-level specialist in the

field of the proposal or has access to unique resources which are of great

importance to the project but which are not available in Europe, or where

third country participant offers the prospect of opening new markets for

the European participants.

In exceptional cases, Community financing for the third country participant

or international organisation may be provided by the programme if it is

essential for achieving the objectives of the project1, i.e. if the

contribution of the participant cannot be provided by any other means and

the project cannot be carried out without that participant.

For country groupings, see box 4

1 Additional rules are foreseen in the Specific Programme “Energy,

environment and sustainable development” which provide for financial

support to those entities where their participation is beneficial and

offers added value for achieving the objectives of the Programme.
