"Mr President, a few sessions ago we debated that the ‘Food for Free’ programme would not receive any funding in 2013. The resources which we are preparing to give now to the ITER project can fund this very programme on which tens of millions of pensioners and other socially deprived Europeans depend for the next five years.
The ITER project is indeed important. However, I wish to emphasise a point made by the Commissioner that this project is experimental. This means that we are currently pouring into it billions and billions of euros which may produce absolutely no result in the long run, providing no benefit at all from this project. This is why I think that this new proposal is causing an imbalance in the EU’s social and industrial activities, which is wrong and must be prevented.
I also wish to call on the scientific community at this time of crisis, when we are all cutting back, raising the pension age and reducing social gains, for them too to exercise restraint and stick within their budgets."@en1
