The European Union decided to include Israel in its latest research and development program. Membership in the program will give Israel access to a fund of some $15 billion that will be available to participating states for research and development projects over the four-year life of the program. Israeli Trade Minister Natan Sharansky, who spearheaded Israel’s five-month campaign for inclusion in the program, described the decision as “a great achievement.”
