"Mr President, we sometimes forget during the debates that we are all Europeans, all the Council members and the representatives of the European Parliament; we all want the same thing. It is supposed that we all want the same thing, which is the development of the European Union and, in this case, the pursuit of such a long term and important project as the funding of an experimental fusion reactor that can completely change the energy outlook in Europe. I am now speaking to you as the rapporteur of the European Parliament report on the next financial perspectives. In this report, we already made a request that large projects, such as ITER, keep their accounting within the structure of the next financial perspectives to avoid the problems we are currently facing with ITER. Under the European Parliament proposal, this debate and these unilateral declarations made by the Council would not have occurred. I can easily understand the financial restrictions that are placed on the Member States, how can that not be the case if we are part of the Member States? However, we are part of the European institutions, and accordingly, the agreements are there to be fulfilled. We have just come out of a trialogue in which it was evident that the funding for ITER in 2013 cannot occur solely through the redeployment of the category corresponding to research and development, but rather the remaining budgetary tools provided by the Interinstitutional Agreement will have to be used. We don't prejudge what they are, nor what they should be, nor how much. What we want is to keep the debate open and any kind of unilateral declaration, such as has been made by the Council, goes completely against what Parliament has done for the 2012 budget, that is, being reasonable, open and, in particular, open to dialogue with the other institutions."@en1
