Mrs Korhola, you will be aware that the Commission is not competent in matters of nuclear safety. There are no EU norms for the safety of reactors, which I myself greatly regret, but it has not to date been possible to change this situation. The Council has worked intensively on this issue, precisely because the Commission has no competence in reactor safety issues. The Council's working party on nuclear issues has applied itself to the safety situation in Eastern European nuclear power plants and presented a report just before the summer recess, which is no doubt available to Parliament.
I recommend that you study this report, which does not of course state that we have laid down European norms, but from which it is clear that the European Union, as regards the safety of Eastern European nuclear power installations, makes demands that it believes to be justified. A list of nuclear power stations, such as you have proposed, resulted from investigations carried out much earlier, at the beginning of the nineties to be precise. These installations, which in the view of the European Union are not capable of a retrofit – that is, they cannot be made safe – are situated in Lithuania, Slovakia and Bulgaria. We have, as you know, made it a condition for the commencement of accession negotiations that the issue of the shutting-down of these nuclear power stations should be finalised."@en1
