"It is indisputable that we need to support the ITER project, given the international commitments we have made, the importance of ITER for future energy sustainability and its contribution to European technological development. However, it is also indisputable that a project of this kind involves significant technological risks which are unfortunately not uncommon with scientific and technological projects. There are increased planning and management risks with such a highly complex project. In the recent past, inadequate risk management has led to the failure of the project’s budget. We need to put right past mistakes; we need to learn from them; we need to put in place measures to prevent them reoccurring in future. While we accept and understand recourse to funds left over from agriculture and administration, it is regrettable that, to secure the rest of the funding needed for the ITER project, there is an insistence on using funding for the Seventh Programme Framework, since this is a vital tool of budgetary policy for achieving the targets of the Europe 2020 strategy: economic growth, job creation and competitiveness. We need to keep the Union’s strategic priorities clear. It is deplorable that contextual constraints and the established budgetary status quo mean that these are constantly succumbing to attempts to put measures for relaunching European competitiveness beyond reach."@en1
