"In order to overcome the increasingly intense energy crisis, Europe needs to secure the conditions of sustainable long-term energy supply. Nuclear fusion could provide a sustainable solution for energy problems at both European and global level. The process does not generate any greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive wastes, and could therefore become a permanent large-scale basic energy source that ensures sustainable development. ITER demonstrates and perfects the key technologies that are required for the development of fusion as a safe and environmentally sound energy source, with regard to which Europe has been at the forefront of research for the past 50 years. We are all aware that its construction represents an extraordinary challenge, not only from a financial, but also from a technical standpoint. The EU cannot ignore the matter of political prestige in this regard either. In the upcoming period implementation will require commitments of an additional EUR 1 300 million, out of which EUR 100 million have already been included in the 2012 budget. Together with the Council and the Commission, the European Parliament must elaborate a proposal on ensuring the balance as soon as possible. I believe that ITER will bring about the revolutionary breakthrough it promises, which could provide a key solution to our energy problems in the long term."@en1
