Nuclear sector, safety: actions for the CEECs and the New independent States NIS

The Parliament adopted its report, drafted by Mr. Gordon ADAM (PES, UK), on nuclear sector-related activities for third countries. MEPs adopted an unamended resolution on the need to improve safety provisions in nuclear reactors in Eastern Europe. The EP calls on the Commission and the EBRD not to grant any funding for first generation reactors except for short-term safety improvements and not to grant any Euratom loans for the modernisation of other reactors until there is a clear commitment to close down first generation reactors considered unsafe.�
