"I am a lawyer, but I must say that, as far as I know, there is no legal basis for being able to demand that any reactor be shut down. Where accession to the EU is concerned, it must be pointed out that this is always in the end a political decision. Each Member State must approve the accession of new Member States. Each country’s parliament must also ratify any such agreement. As I see it, there is, however, no special legal reason for requiring applicant countries to take measures such as those described, but political realities may be the basis for making certain demands.
Clearly, the Commission must take account of problems which may arise if, for example, reactors are used which may present a danger to health. Obviously, the European Union cannot tolerate our having forms of energy production which may cause health problems for citizens within the Union’s borders."@en1
