". – The Commission has been following the political debate on the Temelín nuclear power plant with great attention. It has repeatedly stressed the importance of candidate countries adhering to a high level of nuclear safety in line with relevant Council resolutions. The Commission is actively participating in the deliberations of the Council aimed at assessing and ensuring a high level of nuclear safety in candidate countries as a key requirement for accession to the European Union.
The responsibility for licensing nuclear installations lies with the Czech nuclear regulatory authority. The Commission has cooperated with the Czech authorities in order to reinforce the authority's capacities. The Czech authorities have ensured that the operating licence for Unit 1 of the Temelín nuclear power plant will not be issued until all outstanding problems are solved to the satisfaction of the nuclear regulatory authority.
According to current Czech legislation, an environmental impact assessment is required before the operating licence is issued. The Commission expects this provision to be enforced by the Czech authorities. Mr Adams asks whether the Czechs took account of the IAEA's inspections and views. The answer is ‘yes’. The IAEA has reviewed the modifications made to the safety systems by the Czechs following the IAEA's programmes. The IAEA concluded that the issues were properly addressed by the Czechs.
That is the information I am able to supply on this subject."@en1
