Article 169 - of the EC Treaty allows the participation of the Community in the RTD programmes undertaken by several Member States (apart from any Community framework), including the participation in the structures created for the execution of those programmes. In practical terms, Article 169 of the Treaty foresees the participation of the Community in the joint implementation of national programmes. Therefore the Community does not only support the simple coordination of national programmes but rather participates actively in an integration process of national research programmes
