"In March this year, the Commission came up with a package of legislative proposals on nuclear research and training activities on the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) in 2012 and 2013. Amongst other things, research cofunded by Euratom plays an important role in enhancing the safety, resource efficiency and cost-effectiveness of nuclear fission and other uses of radiation in industry and medicine, and some of the research projects have played a key role in the European industrial initiatives started under the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET plan) last year.
The proposals for the Euratom Framework Programme are clearly linked to the objectives of the EU 2020 and Energy 2020 strategies. The programme is expected to contribute to achieving the objectives of the Innovation Union flagship initiative by supporting pre-commercial research and facilitating technology transfer processes between academia and industry, and to achieving the objectives of the resource-efficient Europe flagship initiative by greatly increasing the overall sustainability of nuclear energy. By putting emphasis on training in all its activities, boosting competitiveness in the current nuclear industry and creating a new sector of high-tech industry for fusion energy in particular, the Euratom programme will lead to growth and new jobs in a wide range of disciplines.
The countries of Europe have recently been exposed to risks associated with the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. And in striving to prevent such disasters from repeating themselves, I firmly believe that it is important for Europe to have stronger nuclear research at its disposal to help it progress in matters of atomic energy."@en1
