The aims, the main characteristics and the organisation of the European Community Fusion programme are outlined. The content of the programme in the physics area is presented, with particular emphasis on results obtained after the Baltimore conference (September 1982). The fusion technology programme and NET are dealt with in some more detail. Finally the present status of international cooperation between the Community fusion programme and other large fusion programmes in the world is reviewed.
