Europe Environment, February, 2007
A mixed assessment of the Euratom Treaty was presented by the European Parliament's Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) during a public hearing on 1 February in Brussels on Assessing aEuratom - 50 years of European nuclear policy'. Outside experts ranged from the OECD's Nuclear Energy Agency, the French Nuclear Safety Authority, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Greenpeace as well as a lawyer opposing nuclear energy subsidies. Concluding the hearing, rapporteur MEP Eugenijus Maldeikis (UEN, Lithuania) regretted the experts' lack of any clear answer. Ideas floated included terminating the treaty, rejuvenating it, with or without a greater role for Parliament, and even re-nationalising' the nuclear industry.
