Commission seeks to align Euratom budget with FP7

摘要

On 9 March, the European Commission formally presented to the Council a proposal to extend the budget of the 2007-2011 Euratom Framework Programme for two more years. This would stretch the programme's funding for nuclear research till 2012 and 2013. The Commission's aim is to align the duration of the Euratom Framework Programme with the seven-year periods of the Framework Programme for Research (currently FP7), which will end in 2013.
