2008年11月19, 20日、第3回ITER理事会が、カダラッシュにて開催され、ITER計画の進捗を加盟国の代表が確認した。また理事会では、日欧韓とITER機構が締結する計5つの調達取り決めの署名が行われ、ITER機器の調達が大きく進展した。スイス・ジュネーブにて開催された核融合エネルギー会議において、ITER機構と各極国内機関が共同で展示を行った。日本からも展示を行い、好評を博した。

On 19-20 November 2008, the ITER Council, the Governing Body of ITER Project, was held as its third meeting. The two-day meeting in Cadarache brought together representatives from the seven ITER Members. An indication of the progress of the ITER project was the signature at the meeting of five Procurement Arrangements involving the European, Japanese and Korean Domestic Agencies. These signatures are essential milestones for the project and mark a substantial step forward towards construction. Joint exhibition among ITER Organization and DAs including JAEA was presented at Fusion Energy Conference, Geneva, Switzerland. It was good opportunity to show the progress of ITER project.
