由于国家工程实验室(NEL)被推迟出售,英国政府的私有化计划在上周遭受了严重挫折。该实验室将推迟两年出售,同时由一个管理咨询专家小组对实验室进行考察并监督其改组工作。出售计划是在今年六月宣布的。政府之所以打算出售该实验室是因为在这个实验室中进行的大部分研究工作都被认为是与工业有关的,因而政府坚持认为这类研究工作的费用应由私营部门承担。政府要求商业界必须在六个星期内提出投标,因而出售工作充满困难。
The privatization plan of the British government suffered a serious setback last week due to the postponement of the sale of the National Engineering Laboratory (NEL). The lab will be postponed for two years while a team of management consultants will visit the lab and oversee the reorganization. The sale plan was announced in June this year. The reason the government intended to sell the lab was because most of the research carried out in the lab was considered industrial-related, and the government insisted that the cost of such research should be borne by the private sector. The government has demanded that the business community must submit its bids within six weeks, so the sale is full of difficulties.
