Research and development - European Union
Economic growth and competitiveness among EU businesses are closely linked to research and technological development activities (RDT), notably in some key fields (such as nanotechnologies) and particular technological sectors (such as aeronautics). For this reason the EU urges Member States to invest in research and to target raising the average level of research spending to 3% of GDP by 2010 (compared with a current figure of 1.9%)

Standards and labels - European Union
Technical harmonisation is one of the key stages in completing the internal market for goods. By harmonising certain product specifications, the EU dismantles trade barriers between Member States. Goods complying with the required standards can move freely within the internal market. This offers businesses EU-wide market access, simplifies procedures and cuts costs while ensuring technical interoperability and a high standard of safety
