Financial framework 2007-2013: additional financing needs of the ITER project

The Council took note of a presentation by the Commission on a proposal for amending the EU's current multiannual financial framework in order to address additional financing needs of the ITER project. The initiative proposes a budgetary redeployment in order to provide additional funds for ITER, whilst keeping unchanged the overall ceilings for commitment and payment appropriations of the financial framework over the period 2007-2013.

The final decision is to be approved by the European Parliament and the Council.
