7.12 The Council intends its programmes to contribute publicly and visibly to Britain's prominent role in Europe. Activity ranges from largely grant-funded British Council programmes, through revenue-earning teaching and examinations activity that is self-funding, to agency work in Turkey and Cyprus (see table 3). The Council maximizes operational opportunity by actively seeking and encouraging co-financing and sponsorship. In northern Europe in particular and the EC, most education exchanges
>
are funded 50/50 with partners, and arts programmes look to achieve a 1:10 ratio of Council input to non-Council contributions. Priority is given to developing revenue-earning business and encouraging mutually beneficial research links and information work that promotes Britain, and educational opportunity in Britain.
7.13 With the aim of fostering co-operative relations with Western European partners and maintaining an influential and attractive image of Britain, the Council's principal objectives for the region are:
• to be contracted by the European Commission to take a leading management role in at least one major EC-funded cultural, educational or scientific programme
⚫ to open new DTOs in Italy, Spain and Portugal
⚫ to be demonstrably instrumental in securing EC funds for British institutions
⚫ to double 1989/90 levels of private-sector sponsorship for Council activity
⚫ to increase collaborative science research projects over 1989/90 levels in France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
