I emphasise that throughout this process of legal action, as befits neighbouring states with so much in common, our relationship with UK colleagues, both at ministerial and official level, remains friendly and positive. However, our perspectives in relation to the plant at Sellafield are some considerable distance apart. The UNCLOS interim judgment will be influential in developing our co-operative relationship as the tribunal recognised that both countries met and co-operated across a wide range of bodies but that improvements in these arrangements were necessary.
