".
The question before us is whether the 77/270/Euratom Decision, which empowers the Commission to issue Euratom loans for the purpose of contributing to the financing of nuclear power stations, must be adapted to suit the circumstances of certain third countries about to join the EU, in which such investments are clearly of considerable significance.
There does not appear to be any place for technical nuclear considerations in this proposal for an amendment. Whether or not the principle of these loans is acceptable is another matter. This is a question, however, which would arise regardless of the amendment currently before us. It should be noted that the mechanism of loans was introduced in 1977 and at the time covered only Member States. It was amended in 1994, when the question emerged of the EU’s contributing towards encouraging safety improvements in nuclear installations in third countries, in particular Soviet-designed reactors in former Eastern Bloc countries."@en1
