4. After advice of the Consultative Committee of the Fusion Programme the Commission may 
finance at a uniform rate of about 45 % as specified in paragraph 3 (a), projects belonging to 
one of the following areas: 
(a) Tokamak systems and support for JET; 
(b) other toroidal machines; 
(c) heating and injection; 
(d) NET and Fusion Technology. 
If such projects belong to areas (c) and (d) and if they are carried out by Industry the 
Commission may finance them at a rate of 100 % as specified in paragraph 3 (b). 
In return, all Associations shall have the right to take part in the experiments carried out with the 
equipment thus constructed. 
5. The expenditure commitments estimated necessary for the contribution to the JET project should 
be 347 million ECU. The amount in question is intended to finance the extension of the JET 
device to full performance and its operation and exploitation with a participation rate of 80 °/o. 
The Swedish and Swiss contributions to the JET project shall be deducted directly from the 
financing of that part of the overall budget laid down for the project which is to be borne by the 
Community budget.

(84/C 198/04) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the 
European Atomic Energy Community, and in 
particular Article 7 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
presented after consultation of the Scientific and 
Technical Committee, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament ('), 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee (2), 
Whereas, in the context of the common policy 
relating to the field of science and technology, the 
multiannual research programme is one of the 
principal means whereby the European Atomic 
Energy Community can contribute to the 
O OJ No C 307, 14. 11. 1983, p. 116. 
(2) OJ No C 341, 19. 12. 1983, p. 9. safety and development of nuclear energy and to the 
acquisition and dissemination of information in the 
nuclear field; 
Whereas, during the period 1984 to 1987, the Joint 
Research Centre (JRC) must continue to play a 
central role in the Community's research strategy and 
to carry but work of common interest by drawing on 
a level of resources which is the equivalent of the 
level of the previous multiannual programme; 
Whereas more generally, the JRC programme as a 
whole must be in keeping with the conclusions of the 
Council of 10 March 1983 with regard to European 
research activities of particular significance; 
Whereas the Council Decision of 22 December 1983 
adopting a research programme to be implemented by 
the Joint Research Centre underlines a particular role 
of the JRC in the field of fusion technology and 
safety, 
27.7.84 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 198/7 
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 
Article 1 
The specific appropriations (12,5 million ECUs) 
provided for European activities of particular 
significances by the Council Decision of 22 December 
1983 on JRC programme ('), are allocated to the 
realization of a tritium handling laboratory at the 
Ispra Establishment of the JRC. 
Article 2 
The construction and exploitation of the tritium 
handling laboratory is fully integrated into the 1984 
0) OJNoL3, 5. 1. 1984, p. 21. to 1987 programme of the JRC, as part of the 'Fusion 
technology and safety' subprogramme. With reference 
to the annex A of the Council Decision ('), the 
project 'studies concerning a tritium handling 
laboratory' is replaced by 'realization of a tritium 
handling laboratory'. 
Article 3 
With reference to the annex B of the Council 
Decision ('), the line 'specific appropriations provided 
for European research activities of particular 
significance' is suppressed, and the corresponding 
commitment appropriation (12,5 million ECUs) is 
transferred to the line 'fusion technology and safety'.
