Annex I – point I – paragraph 1
In today's global economy, metrology holds a key place in and makes a significant contribution to technological and economic development of many nations in the world. Metrology research is needed to solve societal problems, and examples affect areas such as space including satellite navigation, security, healthcare, semiconductor industry and climate change. Metrology research has a strong public-good character and is a main supporting activity for government regulation and standardisation. Metrology is hidden from public view yet it is essential for the facilitation of modern industry, trade and communications. Access to markets can be hampered by lack of uniform and accurate weights and measures, which can also significantly undermine the effectiveness of international cooperation in protecting European airspace. All major economic powers in the world have recognized that technology R&D in metrology is critical to an advanced nation’s long term economic growth.
