"Madam President, I would like to say that the agreement on providing the ITER project with additional resources for the next two years was an extremely tough decision. I wish to congratulate both the rapporteur Mr Böge and the Polish Presidency for helping us reach this agreement which, I will repeat, was very difficult and involved making a few compromises. I know that various views are held in Parliament about this project and its future. However, this is one of the major, promising scientific projects which may produce a scientific breakthrough and, more specifically, in the energy sector to which the European Union has already made a commitment. We must be frank about this: such a large scientific project cannot be funded without the European Union making a firm, long-term financial commitment. We reached a fair, acceptable consensus on a few points: the need for an additional EUR 1 300 million; funding of EUR 940 million in 2012. However, the EUR 360 million in funds for next year, 2013, remains to be clarified. I wish to say in no uncertain terms that we will stick to what we have agreed with the Council under the terms agreed in the joint text. I do not accept what is stated in a unilateral declaration from six Member States, that these funds be provided only by redistributing funds for promoting competitiveness. I want to say to the Commission now that, if it proposes such a budget for 2013, it will be a mistake and it will not be accepted."@en1
