1.           Introduction

Draft Amending Budget
(DAB) No 1 for the year 2012 concerns the financing of ITER, and incorporates
into the 2012 Budget, the amount of EUR 650 million in commitment
appropriations, onto budget article 08 20 02 Euratom – European Joint
Undertaking for ITER – Fusion for Energy (F4E), in accordance with the agreement
reached between the European Parliament and the Council in December 2011.

2.           ITER

On 1 December 2011,
agreement was reached in trilogue on the financing of the
EUR 1 300 million additional cost of the ITER project in
2012-2013 as follows:

–
EUR 100 million already included in
the 2012 budget on the ITER budget lines;

–
EUR 360 million in commitment
appropriations will be made available in the 2013 budget procedure within the
MFF commitment appropriations ceilings making full use of the provisions laid
down in the Financial Regulation and in the IIA of 17 May 2006, excluding any
further ITER-related revision of the MFF;

–
The ceilings for commitment appropriations of
Heading 1a for the years 2012 and 2013 will be increased by an amount of
EUR 840 million, of which EUR 650 million in 2012 and
EUR 190 million in 2013. This increase will be offset by a
corresponding decrease of the ceilings for commitment appropriations of Heading
2 (EUR 450 million for the year 2011) and Heading 5 (EUR 243 million
for the year 2011 and EUR 147 million for the year 2012);

–
The 2013 ceiling for total payment
appropriations will be increased by EUR 580 million offset by a
corresponding decrease in the 2011 ceiling.

This political agreement
was subsequently adopted by the European Parliament and the Council in December
2011, by a decision of 13 December 2011[2],
according to their respective internal procedures.

Now that the ceiling of
Heading 1a has been increased for 2012, it is possible to enter the relevant commitment
appropriations of EUR 650 million onto the budget article
08 20 02 Euratom – European Joint Undertaking for ITER – Fusion for
Energy (F4E).

margins take into account  the decision of the European Parliament and of the
Council of 13/12/2011 to amend the IIA of 17 May 2006 (OJ C 139 of 14.6.2006)
to address additional financing needs of the ITER project (OJ L 4, 7.1.2012)

[4]               The European Globalisation
adjustment Fund (EGF) is not included in the calculation of the margin under
Heading 1a (EUR 500 million). EUR 50 million above the ceiling is financed by
the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument.

Fund (EUSF) amount is entered over and above the relevant headings as foreseen
by the IIA of 17 May 2006 (OJ C 139 of 14.6.2006)

[6]               The 2012 margin for heading 4
does not take into account the appropriations related to the Emergency Aid
Reserve (EUR 258,9 million). EUR 150 million above the ceiling is financed by
the mobilisation of the Flexibility Instrument.

[7]               For calculating the margin
under the ceiling for heading 5, account is taken of the footnote (1) of the
financial framework 2007-2013 for an amount of EUR 84 million for the
staff contributions to the pension scheme.
