Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, as Ms Balzani pointed out, draft amending budget No 1/2012 reflects the agreement reached between the three institutions at the end of the 2012 budget procedure to cover the additional EUR 1.3 billion of costs for the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) project in 2012-2013.
In particular, the draft amending budget increases the ceiling for Heading 1a in 2012 by EUR 650 million. As a group, we support Ms Balzani’s report and therefore appeal for it to be voted through, precisely in order to honour the agreement between the two budget authorities as mediated by the Commission late last year.
I would like to take this opportunity to point out that the ITER project will be one of the most important issues that we will have to discuss during the negotiations leading to the approval of the draft budget for 2013. These negotiations are about to get under way, given the forthcoming publication of the draft budget that Mr Lewandowski will present to us on 25 April.
As set out in the guidelines for the 2013 budget adopted by this House, we are expecting that the agreed EUR 360 million to fund the additional costs of the ITER project under the 2013 budget will be guaranteed without undermining the correct and efficient implementation of European policies, especially those that contribute to achieving the goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy, which have been our strategic priorities since the start of the year and are moreover supported by the Council."@en1
