"The report in question, presented by my colleague, Ms Balzani, concerns Draft amending budget no 1/2012 of the European Union for the financial year 2012, Section III Commission, on the financing of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) programme. ITER is the only scientific programme in the world on fusion energy, otherwise known as ‘star power’, with the involvement of the world’s leading experts on nuclear energy, and which may prove to be an energy solution in the future. It began in 1985 with a commitment to future energy between the Presidents of the US and the Soviet Union, Reagan and Gorbachev. The EU has been one of the main driving forces behind the programme from its outset. During the debate on the EU budget for 2012, the issue of underfunding was addressed, given the importance of the programme in question, and the Commission guaranteed that this matter would be resolved. I therefore welcome this report, which consolidates the Council’s position on this Draft amending budget, and I welcome the agreement that has been reached between the three European institutions, which has provided a solution to this problem. It is, however, necessary to ensure that it is funded in the future."@en1
