9. R.Zagórski, SEWG Meeting, Culham, July 2008 9 EFDA new Art. 5 EFDA Art. 5 foresees implementation of activities through Task Agreements TAs will cover groups of activities with common goals agreed between the EFDA Leader and the participating Associations implementation: using provisions of the contracts of Association upon proposal of the EFDA Steering Committee, the CCE-FU may define priority actions (up to 40% Euratom contributions) => TAs are main tools for the implementation of the Workprogramme => TA elaborated on the basis of the Workprogramme (activities foreseen under P.S. identified in the WP) => participation of Associations elaborated on the basis of a Call for Participation => TA template agreed definition of work under Baseline Support and Priority Support objectives and milestones work breakdown defining contributions of each Association Implementing Agreements are also foreseen in Art 5: IAs for cooperative activities based on the use of a facility or a device Implementing Agreements concluded between the Commission and the Associates concerned

10. R.Zagórski, SEWG Meeting, Culham, July 2008 10 EFDA new Art. 5: Priority Support New Rules for Priority Support in FP7 cooperative activities (hardware and manpower) Activities under P.S. are being implemented under the PWI and ITM Task Forces: -TF coordination -Some joint experiments -Some actions conducted by Associations as a service to all others -Hardware identified by the TF The proposals are top-down: priorities identified by the TF, approved in the EFDA work programme and then subject to a Call to the Associations Funding under Priority Support is limited and PS will be used as a strong incentive for strengthening cooperation

17. R.Zagórski, SEWG Meeting, Culham, July 2008 17 Reports Baseline Support At the end of each calendar year, during the PWI TF annual meeting, the Task Coordinator shall present a report on all activities (baseline and priority support) under the Task Agreement to the EFDA Leader for his approval. These reports shall integrate the progress made by each Association on each activity, and they shall indicate the level of achievement of the objectives, the situation of the activities, the allocation of resources and recommendations for the next year when applicable. Priority Support Achievement of Priority Support deliverables will be reported separately to the EFDA Leader. A final report shall be prepared by the Task Coordinator and submitted to the EFDA Leader. Each participation Association will have to report in one subsection on the degree to which the deliverables of their Task have been achieved, and shall include a breakdown of expenditure. The Task Coordinator will collect the individual subsections into the final report for Priority Support activities addressing the milestones. EU Task Force on Plasma-Wall Interaction
