This is one of 15 new security research projects for which the Commission is allocating 15 million Euros. Vice-President Günter Verheugen responsible for enterprise and industry policies, said: The Commission is determined to do its part to better protect our citizens and fund EU wide targeted research efforts. A strong European security research programme will also enhance Europe`s competitive edge in many areas.”
