[] [] Launched in 1985, [|[17]] the ITER project was formally agreed to and funded in 2006 with a cost estimate of $12.8 billion (10 billion Euro) projecting the start of construction in 2008 and completion a decade later. [|[9]] Timeline||~ Date It was reported in December 2010 that the European Parliament has refused to approve a plan by Member states to reallocate 1.4bn euros from the budget to cover a shortfall in ITER building costs in 2012-13. Closure of the 2010 budget means this financing plan will have to be revised and the European Commission (EC) will put forward an ITER budgetary resolution proposal next year. [|[28]]
