Scientific paper

As emphasized unanimously at the time of the Cargese workshop" a Very Large Telescope (VLT) project is of vital importance to the future vigour of European astronomy. The table given below shows indeed that "competing" projects exist in the US, UK, USSR, all of which are to be completed within about 10 years. The Space Telescope is indicated in the same table for comparison, in order to stress its high cost and its size of "only" 2.4 metres. It is also very important to keep in mind that the Space Telescope and future large ground-based telescopes are to be considered as complementary, not as competitors.
