"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased that this amending budget concerning the financing of ITER was adopted by a large majority in the Committee on Budgets on 29 March. By financing this cost overrun, we avoid scrapping a fundamental strategic research project in which the European Union has a leading role, and we honour our international commitments.
Let us remember that none of the seven partners of the EURATOM community has questioned its overall contribution to the project. Japan, despite the drama of Fukushima, decided to honour its budgetary commitments in ITER to the full. Without this agreement, hundreds of researchers would have had to suspend their work and the ITER project would have suffered detrimental delays. Today, 1 000 people work for ITER in Cadarache. In the period from 2015 to 2017-2018, the building construction and machine assembly phase saw between 4 000 and 5 000 people deployed on this site.
In conclusion, Mr President, ITER is a project Europe can take pride in and a symbol of our excellence."@en1
