| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 國際事務與戰略研究所 === 83 === In order to increase the competitiveness of European industries
in the international market, European Communties(EC) turned to
its common research and development(R&D) vigorously from
1980s. The theme of this thesis is mainly to study the science
and technology(S&T) policy and the S&T product trade of EC,
especially the trade of S&T product between EC and Taiwan. Main
findings can be summarized as follows: First, while EC has a
common research and development policy, each member country has
her own science and technology policy. The common research and
development policy puts more emphasis on informa- tion,
communication, energy and materials industries, which on the
core of Framework Programme. Each member's S&T policy reflects
its national interests and economic cooperative advantage.
Second, as far as the S&T product trade concerned, 60% of this
trade is conducted within EC's member countries. The major
items of S&T product trade in EC are: other transport
equipment, medical and pharmaceutical product and metal working
machinery. Although the statistics shows that in 1980s and
early 1990s the S&T product trade between Taiwan and EC is not
significant, there is a great potential for S&T product trade
to develop in the future.
