"Mr President, it is rather difficult, on a day of national tragedy for Luxembourg – after 17 people died in an air accident – to move onto more mundane issues. However, I should like to make one comment and raise one question.
I have had the opportunity to study the texts that you are presenting, Commissioner. I must admit that these texts, particularly those on nuclear safety, are meaningless, because you are not proposing any real European standards. You are promising future directives and perhaps you could tell me when these future directives will materialise.
Another weak point in your proposals is that you are basing your comments on Article 31. However, Article 31 relates to radiation protection. The Article 31 radiation protection working group is meeting today in Luxembourg. I have spoken with these experts. They tell me that they do not feel qualified to assess the directives that you are proposing, because these are directives in the field of nuclear safety. This view is also shared by Francis Jacob, the counsel for the prosecution in a case currently before the European Court of Justice, between the Council and the European Commission. Why are you convinced that Article 31 is the right one? To sum up, in your midday meeting with Mr Giscard d’Estaing, did you discuss what would be needed, in other words, the reform of the Euratom Treaty under the Convention?"@en1
