".
The question of nuclear safety generally concerns the Council, which fully supports achieving a high standard of nuclear safety throughout the European Union. However, competence and responsibility for nuclear safety lie with the Member States in question; consequently, the Council is not in a position to comment on safety and other aspects relating to specific reactors in specific Member States.
As the honourable Member will know, each reactor should normally only operate for as long as it complies with the requirements of high nuclear safety standards. The current Community legislation on the safety of nuclear facilities is based mainly on Chapter 3 in Title ΙΙ of the Euratom Treaty. Directive 96/29/Εuratom laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionising radiation sets out the basic obligations for radiation protection which must be honoured. The Council also notes the Commission's recent proposal for a directive laying down the basic obligations and general principles relating to the safety of nuclear facilities, which will be subject to careful examination."@en1
