More than 20% of all EU legislation has a significant S&T basis (e.g. food, chemicals, environment, energy)
- Advanced analytical requirements, e.g. GMOs- Harmonization - Best practice - Validation- Training + Reference
DG JRC provides in-house scientific and technical support to Community policymaking, in partnership with Policy DGs and EU Member States, Candidate Countries and Associated States

Example of collaboration: floods
• The JRC analysed flood mitigation scenarios to reduce flood risk and assess damage in the Oder catchment
• Further studies planned for the Elbe, Danube and other trans-boundary river systems
• Research aims at forecasts up to one week (current standard: two days) and damage mitigation strategy
• Collaboration with theNational water authorities

The MARS Bureau provides technical support to CC in the integrated use of geomatic techniques (remote sensing, GIS, GPS) for the implementation and control of the CAP. Focus is on
• Development of an Integrated Administration and Control System (digital mapping)
• vineyard registers;crop yield monitoring and forecasting
• Characterisation of the agricultural context (farm structure, parcel sizes, land use)
• Exchange of best practices and training

Outlook in FP6
• Move to full integration of Candidate Countries in FP6 Work Programme
• Increase training on S&T aspects of EU policies • Emphasis on networking and mobility particularly in the context
of new FP6 instruments • Further opportunities for non-statutory staff from CC and short
stays for CC researchers • Gradually involve other European CC neighbours (i.e. Balkan)• Link to other instruments reinforcing the national S&T
infrastructure (e.g.PHARE, structural funds, etc. )
