In short, keeping the same IT environment is the recipe to ensuring there is no change on IT management side either.

Deputy Director-General and Head of the ITER Project Department: Remmelt Haange (Netherlands)
Safety, Quality and Security: Carlos Alejaldre (Spain)
Or, look at the Organization Structure. No French in the top management

I don't entirely understand China has elected to keep this family in power
