Abstract

A near term goal of the EC/EU is the creation of a free-trade and borderless Europe. Europe however is not a homogeneous group of people, but a mixture of different cultures, languages, morals and business attitudes. Trading goods seems, and in actuality is, more simple to achieve than being successful in a complicated R&D program involving several EC/EU member countries. The EC parliament wants to stimulate this kind of cooperation with the introduction of generous sponsor programs in the areas of innovative R&D and distribution contracts. The intention of these programs is clear. However the actual implementation is far from perfect. Application procedures are complicated and involve an enormous amount of administrative tasks. Success rates are low for some of the programs, not making it worth while to even apply. This paper presents an actual case of a successful business venture between an Italian and a German company. EC/EU programs for small and medium sized enterprises (SME) were used to set up this cooperation. The authors supply information regarding the scope and content of some of the more interesting EC/EU programs for SMEs.<>

欧洲共同体(EC/EU)支持国际研发项目和分销协议的计划

欧共体/欧盟的近期目标是建立一个自由贸易和无国界的欧洲。然而，欧洲并不是一群同质的人，而是不同文化、语言、道德和商业态度的混合体。商品贸易似乎比在涉及多个欧共体/欧盟成员国的复杂研发项目中取得成功要简单得多，实际上也是如此。欧共体议会希望通过在创新研发和分销合同领域引入慷慨的赞助计划来刺激这种合作。这些计划的意图是明确的。然而，实际的实施远非完美。申请程序很复杂，涉及大量的行政工作。一些项目的成功率很低，甚至不值得申请。本文介绍了一家意大利公司和一家德国公司之间成功的商业合作的实际案例。欧共体/欧盟中小型企业(SME)计划被用来建立这种合作。作者提供了关于范围和内容的一些更有趣的EC/EU中小企业计划的信息。
