II. STRUCTURE The Council agrees that: 1. a certain concentration and consolidation of themes covered by the four activities in Article 130G of the Treaty into a limited number of lines or programmes is necessary; at this stage the Council considers that a number of 15-20 lines or programmes could be appropriate; 2. notwithstanding decisions to be taken at a later stage on the number and content of specific programmes on the basis of proposals from the Commission, the Council considers that the following areas - which are included in the Commission's second working document - could constitute the basic lines of the first activity of th ...[+++]e fourth Framework Programme: - Information technologies - Communications technologies - Telematics - Industrial and materials technologies - Measurement and testing - Environment and Climate - Marine research and technologies - Biomedicine and Health - Biotechnology - Agriculture (including agro-industries, food technologies, forestry, rural development) and fisheries - Non-nuclear energy - Nuclear fission safety - Thermonuclear fusion - Transport-related research - Socio-economic research; 3. given their importance for the effective implementation of the Framework Programme, international co-operation, dissemination and optimization of results and training and mobility, which constitute separate activities under Article 130G of the Treaty, should also be incorporated, where appropriate and subject to the definition of the necessary budgetary and administrative arrangements, in the specific programmes under the first activity.

In addition to these rules it is necessary to lay down specific technical criteria regarding the use of vehicles and their trailers intended for the transport of certain types of animals, the suitable design and construction of the transport compartment in which the animals are to be transported; the protection of the animals by a weather proofed, insulated roof; the loading and unloading ramps; the intermediate floors; the partitions in the transport compartment; the approved access through service doors to the transportation co ...[+++]mpartment for inspection; suitable ventilation devices and their capacity; the use of suitable materials in the construction of the transport compartment; the effectiveness of the light sources in the transport compartment.

The twenty programmes are as follows: - fifteen programmes, each covering a specific area: * Telematics applications of common interest, * Advanced communications technologies and services, * Information technologies, * Industrial and materials technologies, * Standardization, measurements and testing, * Marine sciences and technologies, * Agriculture and fisheries, * Environment and climate, * Biotechnology, * Biomedicine and health, * Non-nuclear energy, * Transport, * Socio- ...[+++]economic research, * Controlled thermonuclear fusion, and * Nuclear fission safety; - a horizontal programme for cooperation with non-member countries, in particular the CCEEs/NIS and the developing countries; - a programme for the dissemination and optimization of the results of research; - a programme for the stimulation of the training and mobility of researchers in the Community; - two programmes for the Community Joint Research Centre (one under the aegis of the EEC, the other under that of Euratom).
