No C 198/6                              Official Journal of the European Communities                                  27. 7. 84
              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.
