The European Parliament has adopted an official position on a nuclear cooperation proposal. This decision comes in response to a consultation from the European Council and aims to support collaboration within the European Atomic Energy Community. The adopted text affects member states and European institutions involved in the nuclear field.
The proposal is based on Article 7 of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM). The main objective is to approve a nuclear cooperation proposal, ensuring a coordinated approach at European level. The report was prepared by the committee on industry, research and energy.
Parliament's position was adopted and immediately transmitted to the Council and European Commission. The European Council will decide on next steps in the consultation procedure. Implementation will depend on the Council's subsequent decisions within EURATOM procedures.
The decision influences European cooperation in the nuclear field with implications for energy security and nuclear research. Citizens will benefit from a coordinated approach at EU level for nuclear matters. Member states and nuclear operators will follow further developments in the Council.
