lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Commission shares the opinion of the honourable Member to the effect that the liberalisation of the electricity market affects all types of electricity, including electricity generated using nuclear energy. The Commission considers that there are no grounds for interpreting the EC or the Euratom Treaty as necessarily prohibiting all state aids to the nuclear industry. The Euratom Treaty does not include any clauses specifically prohibiting state aid. Moreover, while Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty do provide for a general principle prohibiting state aids, they also authorise specific categories of state aid. It would only be possible to determine the incompatibility of aid following specific investigation of each case. The Commission has not made any proposals to the UK Government on the subject of the NFFO system in application of Article 88 of the EC Treaty. As regards any existing aid to the nuclear industry, the Commission is not undertaking any systematic investigation. If, however, cases of incompatible aid are brought to the attention of the Commission, such cases will be dealt with in compliance with the terms of the relevant articles of the EC and Euratom Treaties."@en1
