Remarks

Former article 10 04 04

This appropriation is intended to cover part of expenses of any kind incurred during the implementation of these programmes and not covered by the payment appropriations available for previous financial years.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, any revenue entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations.

The main objectives of the programme are as follows:

- to ensure over 250 days’ operation of the HFR per annum in order to guarantee the availability of neutrons for experimental purposes,

- to ensure the rational use of this reactor according to the needs of research institutes requesting the assistance of the HFR in areas such as:

- improving the safety of existing nuclear reactors,

- health, and in particular the development of medical isotopes for medical research and the testing of therapeutic techniques,

- fusion,

- basic research and training,

- waste management, and in particular the possibility of developing nuclear fuels for the elimination of weapons-grade plutonium.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, this Article will, in the course of the financial year, be provided with additional appropriations within the limits of the revenue from Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks

New item

The main objectives of the programme are primarily:

- to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the high flux reactor (HFR), in order to guarantee the availability of the neutron flux for experimental purposes,

- to allow an efficient use of HFR by research institutes in a broad range of disciplines: improvement of safety of existing nuclear reactors, health including the development of medical isotopes to answer the questions of medical research, nuclear fusion, fundamental research and training, and waste management including the possibility to study the safety behaviour of nuclear fuels for the new generation of reactor systems.

In accordance with Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, this item will, in the course of the financial year, be provided with additional appropriations within the limits of the revenue from, notably, the three Member States concerned (currently the Netherlands, Belgium and France) to be entered in Item 6 2 2 1 of the statement of revenue.

Remarks

The Community's financial assistance helps accelerate the eradication or control of animal diseases by providing funds to supplement national financial resources and contributes to harmonising measures at Community level. The bulk of these diseases or infections are zoonoses communicable to man (BSE, brucellosis, avian influenza, salmonellosis, tuberculosis, etc.). Moreover, the persistence of the diseases in question hampers smooth operation of the internal market; fighting them helps to improve the level of public health and to boost food safety in the European Union.
