32. Notes from the Court’s report that the Joint Undertaking’s contractors are offered exclusive exploitation rights over intellectual property produced in fields outside fusion, while in the field of fusion the contractors have non-exclusive rights; notes the potential exposure of the Joint Undertaking to the risk regarding its obligations to retain the right to access the full intellectual property rights involved in the European in-kind contributions and in being able to transfer the access right to the ITER Organisation, if needed; agrees with the Court's recommendation that monitoring the application of the clause of the contracts is needed, in order to oblige the contractors to refrain from carrying out any dissemination of research ...[+++] results until a decision about their possible protection is made; calls on the Joint Undertaking to define boundaries of what would be considered as fusion application in order to ensure maximum clarity and transparency in relation to contractors.

13. Is concerned that the Chair of the Governing Board of the Joint Undertaking refers in the 2013 annual activity report to the project delays, as well as to the need to seek cost savings; notes furthermore that the Director refers to the risks associated to a potential budget shortfall by 2020, mainly related to the increased scope in relation to the ITER buildings and to the current schedule; acknowledges from the Joint Undertaking that the budget allocated for the current MFF until 2020 will be respected by continuing to develop and implement a broad range of cost containment measures;

7. Points out with concern that the Joint Undertaking has not detailed in its financial statements the degree of advancement of the work in-progress; acknowledges from the Court that this information is essential in reflecting the status of the activities carried out so far by the Joint Undertaking, as regards the procurement arrangements signed with the ITER International Organisation; points out that from the Joint Undertaking that information regarding overall progress was provided through its Annual Progress Report and Annual Activity report but limited to a raw ...[+++]preliminary estimation of the percentage of works completed, based on the amount of expenses related to procurement arrangements incurred up to date and comparing them to the estimated value of the contribution in kind to the project; acknowledges furthermore that a raw preliminary estimation of works completed is included in the 2013 Annual Accounts; emphasises the need for information and indicators for proper performance measurement, which applies both to output and internal management;
