This group is of crucial relevance in the achievement of commercial results; 3. SMEs with limited research and development capacities which, however, need to incorporate in their production processes and products the advances made notably by the preceding groups as their survival and competitiveness depend on this; (d) also notes the need for SMEs in the traditional sectors, from any of the aforementioned groups, particularly in the Union's less favoured regions, to be involved in the process of technological innovation; (e) points out that in the conclusions adopted at its meeting on 7 April 1995 on High-Technology ...[+++] Industries and Enterprises, in which it stresses that amongst the latter SMEs play an important role, measures appropriate to such enterprises are specified; (f) notes that there is a need to create and strengthen more technology-based SMEs in Europe; (g) considers that both SMEs that use technology and those that have limited RD capacities should become more important in the Union's science and technology system and benefit more from the results achieved within it; II INVITES THE COMMISSION TO: (a) take into account, in its present work on the definition of SMEs, the particular problems faced by technology-based SMEs; (b) provide statistical studies on the participation of SMEs in the Union's programmes and, in particular, establish criteria that will help to distinguish independent SMEs from those that are subsidiaries of large enterprises; (c) assess and report on the progress of existing Community measures intended to facilitate access to technological innovation for SMEs.

As a first step, the Group will work on the basis of the priority themes mentioned in the Commission report for the December 1994 Essen European Council : - qualitative and quantitative impact of the introduction of new information and communication technologies on employment, and conditions for optimal exploitation of new sources of employment linked to technological progress, - impact of new technologies on work organisation (flexible enterprise, teleworking) and potential consequences on social legislation (labour law, social secur ...[+++]ity, including health and safety at work), - consequences of the information society on the cohesion of Europe's regions and towns, - opportunities offered by new technologies for adaptation of education systems to the needs of the information society, - opportunities offered by new technologies for improving management of systems devoted to healthcare and quality medical care ; and - opportunities offered by new technologies for improving the labour market situation and developing human resources.
