"Fusion energy has the potential to provide a sustainable, long-term solution to the energy dependence of the European Union and the world. ITER demonstrates and perfects the key technologies that are required for the development of fusion as a safe and environmentally sound energy source, since it does not generate greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste. We are all aware that its construction is an extraordinary challenge, both from a financial and a technical standpoint. The budget has been under constant pressure in the past years, which is why we need reliable funds until the end of the programme. It is of exceptional importance that a solution has been found to the EUR 1.3 billion additional cost for 2012-2013, enabling us to maintain our leading role in research and development. I believe that ITER will bring the promised revolutionary breakthrough capable of providing a radical solution to our energy problems in the long term. For that reason, I voted in favour of increasing the budget."@en1
