"Parliament has approved the implementation of the 2009 budget of the forward-looking international scientific project ITER. I welcome this vote, which negates the futile polemics about the viability of this undertaking, which is the only one of its kind in the world. Parliament has drawn attention to the problems and delays during the start-up phase and has called for its internal audit system to be improved. I see in this a signal of encouragement aimed at guaranteeing the long-term future and success of this undertaking in which the world’s major powers are participating. I wanted to use my vote to reaffirm my confidence in this extremely ambitious scientific adventure, which is expected to have significant benefits. Fusion is designed to provide the world’s population with energy that is clean, permanent and safe. It will contribute towards our steps to combat global warming and towards our energy independence. We must set aside resources that are in keeping with the significance of the issues at stake, and I would like to explain for information purposes that the size of the budget allocated and the delays we have noted relate to the technical and organisational complexity of this unique project. It is down to the EU to preserve its image by strengthening its commitment to ITER and demanding that its partners do the same."@en1
