据《自然》周刊近期报道,欧洲的三个负责开展海洋研究工作的部门机构——英国的自然环境研究理事会（NERC）、法国的海洋开发研究所（IFREMER）和德国的研究、教育与技术部（BMBF）—正在计划采取进一步措施,以建立一支统一的、开展共同科学研究计划的欧洲科考船队。这一计划代表着欧洲在联合其海洋研究努力方面迈出一大步,并与前不久提出的建立欧洲海洋局的计划相呼应。 1996年上述三个部门机构已建立起一个“三角联络小组”（G3）,其目标是加强彼此的海洋研究大型设施的协调与合作。G3现已和三个部门机构的船只管理操作部门就集中利用其科考船只问题达成了协议。据G3负责官员、法国海洋开发研究所的皮埃尔·努努说,他们的初始目标是就
According to a recent report by Nature, three European agencies responsible for marine research - the Natural Environment Research Council of England (NERC), the French Institute of Ocean Development (IFREMER) and the German Research, Education and Technology Ministry (BMBF) - Further measures are planned to establish a unified European expedition fleet for joint scientific research programs. This plan represents a major step toward Europe in unifying its maritime research efforts and echoing the plan recently proposed to establish the European Maritime Authority. In 1996, the above three sectoral agencies have set up a “triangular contact group” (G3) with the goal of enhancing the coordination and cooperation of large marine research facilities with each other. The G3 has now reached an agreement with the vessel management operations of the three sectoral agencies on the centralized utilization of their expedition vessels. According to Pierre Nunu, the responsible official at G3 and the French Institute for Ocean Development, their initial goal is to
