Seanad debates

Thursday, 27 November 2003

Address by Ms Nuala Ahern, MEP.

 

As an anti-nuclear campaigner for over 20 years, I would like the Irish Presidency to get rid of the EURATOM Treaty if it is not tackled during the summits that end the Italian Presidency. I welcome the Taoiseach's initiative in joining Austria to seek a review of the treaty. It will be a huge issue for environmental and anti-nuclear groups during discussions on the new European constitution. If Ireland can steer a review of the treaty through with Austria, which took the lead, with the Swedes and Germans joining in, it would be another major achievement.
