lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Commission proposed that the European Community should approve the Joint Convention, but it wanted to put forward a reservation with regard to Article 27. The Article is important as it allows the signatories to the Convention to unilaterally ban the import of foreign spent fuel and radioactive waste. Why, then, should there be a reservation? The Committee having deliberated on the matter, the following can be stated: an EU Member State may categorically and unilaterally ban the import of spent nuclear fuel from a non-EU state. An EU Member State may also ban the import of spent fuel from another Member State when it is no longer intended for reprocessing but disposal in another country. A country cannot unilaterally impose a ban on the import of spent fuel meant for reprocessing. The reservation with regard to Article 27 that the Commission is proposing would not clear the way for an EU single market for the disposal of nuclear waste; it would instead allow the EC to amend Directive 92/3/Euratom to ensure compatibility with the Joint Convention."@en1
