Being a large and long term international project, ITER needs a more flexible mechanism to safeguard Europe's funding and commitment. Therefore, the European Commission has proposed today to set up a "Supplementary Research Programme" under the Euratom Treaty for Europe's contribution to ITER the period between 2014 to 2018. The proposal is in line with the European Commission's Communication "A Budget for Europe 2020" that proposed to finance this contribution outside the Multi-annual Financial Framework ("MFF") after 2013. The Supplementary Research Programme will ensure that Europe is able to honour its international obligations to the ITER project.
