CONTENT: with the present decision, the European Parliament grants discharge to the Director of the Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy in respect of the implementation of its budget for the financial year 2012.
This decision is in line with the European Parliament's resolution adopted on 3 April 2014 and comprises a series of observations that form an integral part of the discharge decision (please refer to the summary of the opinion of 3 April 2014).
