上个星期,英国上院科学技术委员会激烈抨击了政府削减对接近实用阶段的研究开发工作的资助的政策。该委员会在一份有关英国的农业和食品研究的报告申说,政府应当重新核定那些被列入“接近实用阶段”的研究开发项目的清单,涉及公共利益的研究开发(如动物卫生保健、食品安全与质量标准及环境保护等)不应列入此清单中。 Last week, the British House of Lords Committee on Science and Technology fiercely attacked the government's policy of reducing subsidies for research and development work close to the practical stage. The commission said in a report on agricultural and food research in the United Kingdom that the government should re-approve lists of research and development projects that are listed as “near-practical” and that involve research and development in the public interest such as animal health care, food Safety and quality standards and environmental protection, etc.) should not be included in this list.
