Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.

 

Should the EURATOM Treaty, dealing with nuclear power, be updated to emphasise safety and affirm the European Union's right to close down unsafe nuclear activities? I have made a proposal to the Convention that we take this opportunity of underlining the fact that if Sellafield is dangerous, the European Union has the power to close it. It does have that power, as a result of a court decision last year. It may be useful to underline this in the treaty.
