  The European Parliament adopted a non-legislative resolution amending the proposal for a Council decision concerning the Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community for nuclear research and training activities (2012-2013). Parliament considers that the prime reference amount set in the legislative proposal is not compatible with the ceiling of Heading 1a of the current Multiannual Financial Framework 2007- 2013 (MFF). It takes note of the Commission proposal to revise the current MFF in order to accommodate the additional unforeseen funding for ITER for the years 2012-2013, and it is willing to enter into negotiations with the other arm of the budgetary authority with a view to reaching a swift agreement on the financing of the Euratom research programme by the end of 2011. Members recall their opposition to any form of redeployment from the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013) as proposed in the Commission proposal. The main amendments to the proposal are as follows: Nuclear safety: Parliament states that the improvement of nuclear safety and, where relevant, security aspects, should be prioritised given the possible cross-border impact of nuclear incidents. In view of the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan resulting from the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011, additional research work in the field of nuclear fission safety is necessary in order to reassure Union citizens that the safety of nuclear facilities based in the Union continues to meet the highest international standards. Such additional work requires an increase in the budget allocation for nuclear fission. Additional funding of ITER: an agreement on additional funding of ITER solely through transfers of unused 2011 margins of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and without redeployments from the Seventh EU Framework Programme (2007-2013) to the Framework Programme (2012-2013) would allow for swift adoption of the programme in 2011. A recital states that to accommodate the Framework Programme (2012-2013) in the MFF for the years 2012 and 2013, it will be necessary to amend the MFF by increasing the ceiling of Heading 1a. If no other 2011 MFF margins are available to be transferred in 2012 and 2013, the Flexibility Instrument, as provided for in point 27 of the IIA, should be mobilised. For the 2014-2020 MFF, the financial resources dedicated to the ITER project should be fixed for the whole programming period so that any over-running of the costs beyond the EU share of EUR 6.6 billion for the ITER construction period, currently planned to be finalised in 2020, should be financed outside the MFF ceilings ('ring fencing'). Parliament adds that the Framework Programme (2012-2013) should be on the one hand be open to the participation of countries that have concluded the necessary agreements to this effect, and should also be open, at project level and on the basis of mutual benefit, to the participation of entities from third countries and of international organisations for scientific cooperation. On the other hand, this also means that, particularly with regard to the ITER project, the international partners should fully respect their financial obligations. Framework Programme: the resolution stresses the need to place particular emphasis on nuclear safety, security and radiation protection. It adds that the Framework Programme (2012-2013) shall contribute to implementing the SET-plan. Its actions should take into account the Strategic Research Agenda of the three existing European technology platforms on nuclear energy: SNETP, IGDTP and MELODI. Funding: the maximum amount for the implementation of the Framework Programme (2012-2013) shall be EUR 2 100270 000 (rather than EUR 2 560270 000). This amount shall be distributed as follows: fusion energy research EUR 1 748 809 000; this figure include the necessary funds for the continuation of the JET programme in Culham; nuclear fission, especially safety, improving the management of nuclear waste and radiation protection EUR 118 245 000; nuclear activities of the JRC relating to nuclear safety, environmental protection and decommissioning EUR 233 216 000. Special attention shall be paid to the development of contractual arrangements that reduce the risk of failure to perform as well as the reallocation of risks and costs over time. Special attention shall also be paid to initiatives ancillary to core nuclear research, in particular as regards investment in human capital and adequate working conditions and actions aimed at addressing the risk of skills shortages in the coming years. Monitoring, assessment and review: Member States and the Commission shall establish a review of professional qualifications, training and skills in the nuclear field in the Union, which gives an overall picture of the current situation and enable appropriate solutions to be identified and implemented. Annex: on nuclear fission and radiation protection, Parliament states that special attention should be given to long-lived nuclear waste when decommissioning outdated systems. It stresses continued support for the retention and development of qualified personnel required to maintain the nuclear independence of the Union and consistently ensure, and improve the level of, nuclear safety. It is crucial to keep nuclear expertise in the Union, as regards radioprotection and the dismantling of nuclear facilities, as nuclear energy will play a key role in the Union's energy mix, including decommissioning and long-life waste-management activities. Lastly, Parliament states that the management of European research funding should be more trust-based and risk-tolerant towards participants at all stages of the projects, while ensuring accountability, with flexible Union rules to improve alignment, where possible, with existing different national regulations and recognised accounting practices. It adds that it is necessary to strike a balance between trust and control between risk taking and the dangers that risk involves in ensuring the sound financial management of Union research funds.

  PURPOSE: to adopt a multiannual framework programme for nuclear research and training activities (Framework Programme (2012-2013)') for the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2013. PROPOSED ACT: Council Decision. BACKGROUND: joint national and European efforts in the area of research and training are essential to promote and ensure economic growth and the well-being of citizens in Europe. Under Article 7 of the Euratom Treaty, the Euratom Framework Programme is the Community's main instrument for supporting and complementing Member States' activities in nuclear research and development (R&D). The existing provisions are contained in Council Decision 2006/970/Euratom on the Euratom Framework Programme and they will expire at the end of 2011. The proposal is for the adoption of a Council decision concerning Euratom's Framework Programme for 2012-2013. This Framework Programme is part of a legislative package that contains proposals for decisions for the Framework Programme itself, two Specific Programmes (for direct and indirect actions), and the Rules for Participation). IMPACT ASSESSMENT: in accordance with Article 21 of the Implementing Rules for the Financial Regulation (Commission Regulation N° 2342/2002), the Commission has prepared an ex ante evaluation. Since this proposal aims to continue the activities of the Euratom Framework Programme for 2012-13 under the same financial perspectives, the requirement for an Impact Assessment has been waived. LEGAL BASIS: Article 7 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). The added value of Euratom involvement in nuclear research is intimately linked to cross-border effects, economies of scale, and contributing to the resolution of market failures. Euratom projects in fission, fusion and radiation protection can allow research to achieve the required 'critical mass', while lowering commercial risk and levering private investment. Euratom actions also play a key role in transferring nuclear skills and knowledge across frontiers, helping to foster excellence in research and innovation. CONTENT: the overall aim of the proposal is to ensure the continuation of EU-funded research and training activities in nuclear science and technology during the years 2012-13. The Euratom Framework Programme is also crucial if Europe is to maximise the return on investment in ITER which has now entered its construction phase and relies on the continued support of Europe's fusion energy research programme. In addition, both nuclear fission and fusion are identified in the SET-Plan as energy technologies which Europe must develop in order to meet its energy objectives. The Euratom Framework Programme for 2012-13 contains broadly the same scientific, technical and strategic objectives and uses the same fundingschemes as the current Euratom FP7 programme (2007-2011). Nonetheless, the programme has evolved over the last five years, and must take into account the results of recent research and the new policy context and research landscape in Europe. Regarding policy, the most significant development has been the adoption and endorsement of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan) as part of a broad portfolio approach to addressing future energy challenges. The Framework Programme (2012-2013) will cover Community research, technological development, international cooperation, dissemination of technical information, exploitation activities and training, to be set out in the two specific programmes. The broad objectives for the Euratom Framework Programme for the years 2012-13 are: in the area of fusion energy research, to develop the technology for a safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible and economically viable energy source; in the area of nuclear fission and radiation protection, to enhance the safety, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fission and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine, and to enhance nuclear security (nuclear safeguards, non-proliferation, combating illicit trafficking and nuclear forensics). Budget for Euratom Framework Programme 2012-2013 (including ITER): the draft appropriations initially provided for nuclear research in the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2007-2013 (MFF) are insufficient owing to the substantial cost increase of the ITER project. The cost increase of the ITER project was the subject of an in-depth assessment in the Commission Communication "ITER status and possible way forward". If no decision were taken on the increase of budget for ITER, Euratom's contribution to ITER would be limited to the appropriations envisaged for this purpose in the MFF, which would as a consequence prevent Euratom from fulfilling its legal obligations under the ITER agreement. In its conclusions of 12 July 2010, the Council reaffirmed its commitment to ITER, acknowledged its increased financing needs and set out a number of guidelines on cost containment and management. The Council agreed on a EUR 6.6 billion limit of the European contribution to the construction phase of ITER until 2020. This includes EUR 1.4 billion during period of 2012-2013. The Council also mandated the Commission to support the adoption of the ITER Baseline, which prompted the Commission's proposal to amend the Multiannual Financial Framework, to address additional financing needs of ITER At the extraordinary ITER Council meeting of 28 July 2010 the Baseline was adopted. Euratom's support was given ad referendum. The European Parliament and the Council are still to approve the Commission's proposed amendments. Following Commission's proposal to amend the MFF, the Council reached an agreement in November 2010 on the use of existing margins of the 2010 budget and redeployment within the MFF and 7th EU Research Framework Programme to cover the additional ITER needs at the level of EUR 1.3 billion, i.e. 100 million short of the needs of EUR 1.4 billion acknowledged by the Council conclusions of 12 July 2010. The reduction of EUR 100 million for the period 2012-2013 does not contradict, nor cancel, the Council's commitment to an overall European contribution to the ITER construction costs at the level of EUR 6.6 billion. In the context of the conciliation procedure for the 2011 budget and the related discussion on the flexibility instrument, the budgetary authority did not conclude an agreement on additional European funding for ITER. Therefore, a decision on that matter, based on the Commission's proposal will have to be taken as soon as possible during 2011. The Commission proposes that, in these circumstances, the legislative process concerning proposals for Euratom FP for 2012-13 will be carried out in parallel to the continuing discussion on the budget for ITER and the 2012 budget. Agreement on additional funding will allow for swift adoption of the Euratom research programme in 2011, a decision that will be important in view of maintaining Euratom's support for exploitation of nuclear facilities such as JET as well as JRC direct actions. BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: the maximum amount for the implementation of the Framework Programme (2012-2013) shall be EUR 2 560 270 000. This amount shall be distributed as follows (in EUR): (i) for the specific programme, to be carried out by means of indirect actions: - fusion energy research 2 208 809 000; nuclear fission and radiation protection 118 245 000; (ii) for the specific programme, to be carried out by means of direct actions: nuclear activities of the JRC 233 216 000.

Amendment 7 # Derek VAUGHAN Draft legislative resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Considers that the prime reference amount set in the legislative proposal is not compatible with the ceiling of Heading 1a of the current Multiannual Financial Framework 2007-13 (MFF); takes note of the proposal of the Commission of 20.04.2011 (COM (2011)0226) to revise the current MFF on the basis of points 21 to 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (IIA) in order to accommodate the additional unforeseen funding for ITER for the years 2012- 2013; is willing to enter into negotiations with the other arm of the budgetary authority, on the basis of all the means provided in the IIA, with a view to reaching a swift agreement on the financing of the Euratom research programme by the end of 2011; recalls its opposition to any form of redeployment from the Seventh Framework Programme for research as proposed in the above- mentioned Commission proposal; Amendment 8 # Helga TRÜPEL Proposal for a decision Recital 1 a (new) (1a) Whereas it has clearly been demonstrated that the risks of nuclear energy have become unmanageable; Amendment 9 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision – The European Parliament rejects the Commission proposal. Amendment 9 # Helga TRÜPEL Proposal for a decision Recital 1 b (new) (1b) Whereas hardly any progress has been made during the last decades in the production of fusion energy, despite billions of allocations of EU research money; Amendment 10 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Recital 4 a (new) (4a) The framework programme (2012- 2013) should take account of the impact, notably financial and budgetary, on the ITER programme of the Fukushima catastrophe and of the decisions made in its wake, in particular Germany’s decision to abandon its nuclear programme, and should therefore conduct an impact assessment. Amendment 10 # Helga TRÜPEL Proposal for a decision Recital 2 (2) The Framework Programme of the European Atomic Energy Community for nuclear research and training activities (2012 - 2013), hereinafter ‘the Framework Programme (2012 - 2013)’, should complement other Union actions in the area of research policy that are necessary for implementing the Europe 2020 strategy set out in the Communication from the Commission of 3 March 2010 entitled Europe 2020 - A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth9 , in particular those on education, training, competitiveness and innovation, industry, employment, and the environmentnstitute the beginning of a phasing-out process of EU investments in nuclear energy.

FUSION ENERGY RESEARCH Objective Developing the knowledge base for, and realising ITER as a major step towards, the creation of prototype reactors for power stations that are safe, sustainable, environmentally responsible, and economically viable. Rationale Fusion has the potential to make a major contribution to the realisation of a sustainable and secure energy supply for the Union a few decades from now. Its successful development would provide energy which is safe, sustainable and environmentally friendly. The long-term goal of European fusion research, embracing all the fusion activities in the Member States and associated third countries, is the joint creation of prototype reactors for power stations which meet these requirements, and are economically viable. The first priority of the strategy to achieve the long-term goal is the construction of ITER (a major experimental facility which will demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of fusion power), followed by the construction of a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO). ITER construction will be accompanied by a focussed programme of supporting R&D for ITER and limited activities on the technologies and physics required for DEMO. The global dimension of fusion R&D is embodied in the agreement establishing the International Fusion Energy Organisation for the ITER Project and the Agreement between the Government of Japan and the Community for the Broader Approach Activities in the Field of Fusion Energy Research. International cooperation is also pursued within eight bilateral fusion Cooperation Agreements in force between the Community and third countries. Activities 1. The realisation of ITER This includes activities for the joint realisation of ITER, in particular governance of the ITER International Organisation and the European Joint Undertaking for ITER, management and staffing, general technical and administrative support, construction of equipment and installations and support for the project during construction. 2. R&D in preparation of ITER operation A focused physics and technology programme will exploit the Joint European Torus (JET) and other ITER- relevant magnetic confinement devices. It will assess specific key ITER technologies, consolidate ITER project choices, and prepare for ITER operation. 3. Limited technology activities in preparation of DEMO Fusion materials and key technologies for fusion will be further developed, and the work of the team preparing for the construction of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF) will continue. 4. R&D activities for the longer term There will be limited activities on improved concepts for magnetic confinement schemes (focussed on the preparation for operation of the W7-X stellarator device), and theory and modelling aimed at a comprehensive understanding of fusion plasmas. 5. Human resources, education and training In view of the immediate and medium term needs of ITER, and for the further development of fusion, initiatives aimed at training the "ITER Generation", in terms of numbers, range of skills and high-level training and experience will be pursued. 6. Infrastructures ITER will be a new research infrastructure with a strong European dimension. 7. Industry and technology transfer processes New organisational structures are needed for swift transfer of innovations deriving from ITER to European industry. This will be a task of the Fusion Industry Innovation Forum which will develop a fusion technology roadmap and human resource development initiatives, with an emphasis on innovation and potential for providing new products and services.deleted Amendment 37 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point a – indent 1 ~~- fusion energy research: 2 208 809 000;~~deleted Amendment 37 # Helga TRÜPEL Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – part I.B – paragraph 2 Nuclear power constitutes an important element in the debate on combating climate change and reducing Europe's dependence on imported energy.

Amendment 53 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 2 - paragraph 2 Three major European cooperative initiatives in nuclear science and technology have been launched since the start of the Seventh Euratom Framework Programme. They are the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), the Implementing Geological Disposal Technology Platform (IGDTP) and the Multidisciplinary European Low- Dose Initiative (MELODI). The activities of both SNETP and IGDTP correspond very closely with SET-Plan priorities, and a core group of SNETP organisations are responsible for implementing ESNII, the European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative under the SET-Plan. All encompass activities within the scope of the Framework Programme (2012-2013), and can ensure that it remains as efficient and effective as possible.deleted Amendment 54 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 2 - paragraph 3 There is increasing interaction between SNETP, IGDTP and MELODI and other stakeholder forums at the Union level, such as the European Nuclear Energy Forum (ENEF) and the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG), and this process will also be promoted to the extent possible through Framework Programme activities.deleted Amendment 55 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 2 - paragraph 4 The Euratom Framework Programme (2012-2013) is characterised by an overriding concern to promote ~~high levels of safety. It will also continue to support~~the dismantling of nuclear facilities under the safest conditions. It will accelerate initiatives to ensure that facilities, training and training opportunities in Europe ~~remain~~in this field are appropriate in view of current ~~orientations of national~~global trends towards programm~~es and~~ ing the ~~best interests of the Union as a whole~~closure of nuclear power stations. This, more than anything else, will ~~ensure that~~guarantee an appropriate safety culture ~~is maintained~~. Amendment 56 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 3 - point 1 1. Geological disposal Implementation-oriented research activities on all remaining key aspects of deep geological disposal of spent fuel and long-lived radioactive waste with, as appropriate, demonstration of the technologies and safety, and to underpin development of a common European view on the main issues related to the management and disposal of waste.deleted Amendment 57 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 3 - point 2 2. Reactor systems Research to underpin the safe, efficient and more sustainable operation of all relevant reactor systems (including fuel cycle facilities) in use or under development in Europe, including waste- management aspects of the fuel cycle such as partitioning and transmutation.deleted Amendment 58 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 3 - point 4 Support for the use and continued availability of, and cooperation between, key research infrastructures in the ~~priority thematic area~~areas of radioprotection and the dismantling of nuclear facilities. Amendment 59 # JORDAN CIZELJ, Romana Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – part I.B – section 3 - point 5 SContinued support for the retention and ~~further~~ development of ~~scientific competence and human capacity in order to guarantee the availability of suitably qualified researchers, engineers and employees in the nuclear sector over the longer term~~qualified personnel required to maintain the nuclear independence of the Union and consistently ensure, and improve the level of, nuclear safety. It is crucial to keep nuclear expertise in the Union, as nuclear energy will play a key role in the EU energy mix, including decommissioning and long-life waste-management activities. Amendment 60 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part I.B – section 3 - point 5 Support for the retention and further development of scientific competence and human capacity in order to guarantee, as regards radioprotection and the dismantling of nuclear facilities, the availability of suitably qualified researchers, engineers and employees in the ~~nuclear~~ sector over the longer term. Amendment 61 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part II – section 1 The JRC Nuclear Specific Programme aims at satisfying the R&D obligations of the Treaty and supporting both the Commission and Member States, in particular in the fields of safeguards and non-proliferation, ~~waste management, safety of nuclear installations and fuel cycle,~~ radioactivity in the environment and radiation protection. The JRC shall further strengthen its role of a European reference for the dissemination of information, training and education for professionals and young scientists. Amendment 62 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part II – section 2 - paragraph 1 NWhile nuclear power wstill plays a strategic role in the Union’s energy mix for at least the next half century, contributing to achieve the Union's target on emission of greenhouse gases, and improving the Union’s independence, security and diversity of energy supply. This could be achieved within the strictest commitments towards responsible use of nuclear energy, covering safety and securitelectricity generation in some Member States, and especially in France, the Union must move resolutely towards a non-nuclear economy. Amendment 63 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part II – section 2 - paragraph 2 To fulfil this goal, there is a clear need for developing knowledge, skills and competence to provide the required scientific state of the art independent and reliable expertise in support to the Union's policies in the domains of nuclear ~~reactor and fuel cycles safety, nuclear safeguards and security. The customer driven support to the Union's policy underlined in t~~safeguards and security and the dismantling of nuclear facilities. The JRC's mission will be complemented with a proactive role within the European Research Area in undertaking high quality research activities in close contact with industry and other bodies and developing networks with public and private institutions in the Member States. Its role as the supplier of information to the public will be enhanced. Amendment 64 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part II – section 3 - point 1 1. Nuclear Waste Management and environmental impact, will focus on reducing uncertainties and solving open issues in waste disposal, in order to develop effective solutions for the management of high level nuclear waste following the two major options (direct disposal or partitioning and transmutation). Activities will also be developed to enhance the understanding and modelling of the physics, chemistry and fundamental properties of actinide materials, and the database of high accuracy nuclear reference data, for nuclear energy andMedical applications and environmental impact, will focus on non-nuclear applications (e.g. medical). To extend the radiological protection effort, further development of environmental models of radioisotope dispersion coupled with monitoring tests in environmental radioactivity in support to the harmonisation of the national monitoring process and systems, and with the provision to the public of data on environmental (air, water, soil) radioactivity levels, will be carried out. Amendment 65 # Michèle RIVASI Proposal for a decision Annex I – part II – section 3 - point 2 2. Nuclear safety, will contribute to implement research on existing and new fuel cycles, reactor safety of present reactors in the Union, and reactor safety on new innovative designs that can improve efficiency, safety and safeguard aspects of innovative fuel cycles, extended burn-up or of new types of fuels for the next generation. It will also pursue the development of safety requirements and advanced evaluation methods for existing and new reactor systems. In addition the JRC will strengthen the Union's position in the world by coordinating the European contribution to the Generation IV International Forum R&D initiative, by acting act as integrator and disseminating research in this area.deleted Amendment 66 # Maria Da Graça CARVALHO, Jean-Pierre AUDY Proposal for a decision Annex II – paragraph 1 a (new) The management of European research funding should be more trust-based and risk-tolerant towards participants at all stages of the projects, while ensuring accountability, with flexible EU rules to improve alignment, where possible, with existing different national regulations and recognised accounting practices; Amendment 67 # Maria Da Graça CARVALHO, Jean-Pierre AUDY Proposal for a decision Annex II – paragraph 1 b (new) It is necessary to strike a balance between trust and control – between risk taking and the dangers that risk involves – in ensuring the sound financial management of Union research funds.

activities/0/docs/1	added	text This ex-ante evaluation accompanies the legislative package of Commission's proposals for the Euratom nuclear research and training activities (2012-13). The legislative package consists of: the draft Council Decisions for the Framework Programme; specific Programmes for direct and indirect actions; rules for the participation of undertakings, research centres and universities in actions under the framework programme and for the dissemination of research results. The legislative package aims to continue supporting R&D actions in the nuclear field carried out under the 7th Euratom Framework Programme (2007-2011). The proposals will only cover two years (2012-13), in accordance with the current financial perspectives (2007-2013) and in line with the timeframe of the EU 7th Framework Programme (2007-2013). Research co-funded by Euratom plays an important role in enhancing the safety, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fission and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine, and some of the research project are playing a key initiating role in the recently launched European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII), one of the six European industrial initiatives launched under the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-plan) in 2010. The proposals for the Euratom Framework Programme are clearly linked to the objectives of the Europe 2020 and Energy 2020 strategies. The programme will contribute to the Innovation Union flagship by supporting pre-commercial research and facilitating technology transfer process between academia and industry and to the Resource efficient Europe flagship by greatly increasing the overall sustainability of nuclear energy. By putting emphasis on training in all its activities, boosting competitiveness in the current nuclear industry and creating a new sector of high-tech industry for fusion energy in particular, the Euratom programme will lead to growth and new jobs in a wide range of disciplines. Proposals for the Euratom Framework Programme follow up the conclusions of the European Council (4 February 2011) which agreed that the EU and its Member States will promote investment in renewables, safe and sustainable low carbon technologies and focus on implementing the technology priorities established in the SET-plan. Both nuclear fission and fusion are identified in the SET-Plan as energy technologies which Europe must maintain, develop and deploy in order to meet its short and longer term energy objectives. Lastly, proposals for the Euratom Framework Programme (2012-2013) take account of the simplification process, launched by the Commission in 2010, which makes current and future research programme more attractive and more accessible to the best researchers and most innovative companies. Simplification measures for the Euratom Framework Programme (2012-2013) will be implemented through the Commission decision C(2011)174 of 24 January 2011. type Document attached to the procedure title SEC(2011)0204
