CURRENT CONTEXT. On 29 May 2009, the Commission presented to the Council a summary of the status of the ITER project, the challenges faced and the actions taken. The Commission also set out a number of "boundary conditions" that it considers pre-requisite to be met in order to ensure the success of the project at acceptable cost and reasonable risks. These include credible cost assessment and cost containment policies, realistic timetable and sound management of the project at all levels. At its meeting of 16 November 20095, the Council confirmed its unanimous support to the ITER project, understanding that the construction cost of ITER would be substantially higher than initially planned, and "provided that the boundary conditions elaborated by the Commission in the end can be met". The Council also concluded that the "Baseline"6 (scope, schedule and cost) for ITER must build upon these boundary conditions. It called for action to be taken on necessary management changes and a strong policy to be applied on cost reduction and cost containment. In addition, the Council invited the Commission to explore possibilities for providing the increased funding needed during the current Financial Perspectives, including advantages and disadvantages of a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and a reprioritization of 4 OJ L 90, 30.3.2007, p. 58. 5 Documents 15815/09 XXXX 401 ATO 136 + ADD 1 RESTREINT UE. 6 The Baseline refers to the inter-related elements of scope (specifications of the machine to build), the schedule (time table for construction) and the cost. funds within the current EU budget, and to present possible solution(s) to the Council as soon as possible. At the international level, the immediate critical step for the construction phase is for ITER international partners to agree on the Baseline at the currently foreseen mid-June ITER Council in China. The Commission has insisted on meeting the Boundary conditions and has so far declined to adopt the proposed schedule as foreseen in November 2009. The EU now needs to define its position for the meeting of the ITER Council.

CURRENT CONTEXT. Achieving genuine interoperability in the EU is key to promoting an effective exchange of health information. Interoperability means the ability of health information systems to work together within and across organisational, regional and national boundaries in order to share information needed to provide healthcare services. In particular, semantic interoperability enables sharing and processing of healthcare data while keeping its relevant context and meaning. Semantic interoperability retains the ubiquity of the information travelling across clinicians, laboratories, hospitals, pharmacies and patients, regardless of the ICT systems applied. It is crucial to make data commonly available and interpretable across the whole healthcare and well-being pathway. Information modelling and coding standards are the pillars on which technical, syntactic and semantic interoperability are supported. However, there should be uniform guidelines referring not only to the use of standards but also to information exchange formats. The uniformity of coded and structured data, travelling through standardised messages using standardised formats, will allow for the meaningful sharing of information between IT systems. The overall aim is to facilitate the meaningful sharing of information both internally within a country and across borders. Thus, health information should flow for European citizens along their healthcare pathway, with minimum loss of meaning, or no loss at all. 11 xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/standard/70855.html To achieve this, a meaning-oriented strategy needs to be put in place, encompassing all kinds of health information, potentially including patient generated and owned data, as well as information used for health and social care, and research. Cross-border standard specifications have a great potential for usage in national systems. The standardisation of the semantic approach should bring benefits for MS/C due to:  Availability of knowledge for national semantic resources of MS/C;  Common standards as a reference for specifications for other ICT related projects within MS/C;  Use of common semantic standards for setting national standards, minimising burden on national resources;  Higher acceptance among national users for adoption of a common EU standard (as the legitimacy of such standards would not be questioned by national stakeholders). The adoption and use of semantic standards for health will bring benefits to all stakeholders: healthcare service pro...
