B. whereas the members of the Joint Undertaking are Euratom, represented by the Commission, the Member States of Euratom and other countries which have concluded cooperation agreements with Euratom in the field of controlled nuclear fusion,
Parlamentet noterar med oro att centrumet inte helt och hållet har löst denna fråga, och uppmanar centrumet att vidta korrigerande åtgärder och snarast informera den ansvarsfrihetsbeviljande myndigheten om resultatet.
C. whereas the Joint Undertaking started to work autonomously in March 2008,
Det är huvudsakligen kommissionen, medlemsstaterna och arbetsmarknadens parter som får information om centrumets verksamhet, och därför blir dess direkta effekter för unionsmedborgarna begränsade på kort sikt.
D. whereas on 9 October 2008 the Court of Auditors (‘the Court’) delivered Opinion No 4/2008 on the Joint Undertaking's Financial Regulation,
Parlamentet noterar dessutom att centrumets årsrapport finns tillgänglig för allmänheten på centrumets webbplats.

Europaparlamentet noterar att budgetövervakningsinsatser under budgetåret 2013 resulterade i ett genomförande av budgeten på 98,95 %, och att genomförandegraden av betalningsbemyndigandena var 92,39 %.
Observes that the Council's conclusions adopted on 7 July 2010 [1] approved EUR 6,6 billion in 2008 values, in order for the Joint Undertaking to contribute to the ITER construction phase of the project; points out with concern from the Court's emphasis of matter that this amount is double compared to the initial budgeted costs and did not include an amount of EUR 663000000 proposed by the Commission and intended to cover potential contingencies; considers that the significant increase of the project may put into danger other programmes which are also financed by the Union's budget and may be contradictory to the ‘value for money’ principle;
Europaparlamentet erfar från centrumet att det planerade underutnyttjandet av medlen i avdelning I på grund av besparingar och uppskjutna rekryteringar har kunnat täcka utgifter i avdelningarna II och III som är kopplade till behoven av tjänster och de resultat som har angivits i arbetsprogrammet.
