To avoid duplication of effort, the Fusion Working Group will not establish 

 separate Subpanels, but rather, will support the High Energy Physics effort. 

 Each Head of Delegation of the Summit Working Group on Fusion will appoint 

 one individual to work with the High Energy Physics Subpanel on administrative 

 questions. 



Custom practices in some countries require the imposition of levies on 

 equipment imported on a long-term loan basis for scientific research. The 

 duty-free, extended-time transfer of scientific apparatus or components from 

 one nation to another would substantially improve the ability of fusion 

 scientists and engineers to effectively and economically conduct the 

 experiments. 



Data Communications are of great importance to furthering the Summit goal of 

 expanding and improving international collaboration in science and 

 technology. There are certain barriers to achieving this goal. Elimination 

 of these barriers would substantially enhance cooperative science and 

 technology progress. 



Personnel Exchanges are an integral part of science and technology 

 collaboration. THere are some problems associated with visas and work 

 permits for family members that result in hardship and other social 

 disadvantages for visiting scientists and engineers. The ability of 

 scientists and engineers to participate in exchanges consistent with the 

 goals of the Summit process would be improved if the Summit Nations could 

 reduce or remove social and legal barriers that negatively influence long- 

 term personal exchanges.
