Amendment 67 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Notwithstanding the potential impact of nuclear energy on energy supply and economic development, severe nuclear accidents, nuclear proliferation and malevolent acts including nuclear terrorism may have the potential to endanger human health. Therefore, nuclear safety and, where appropriate, security aspects should be given the greatest possible attention in the Euratom Programme. Attention must also be paid to third countries that border the Union and cross-border aspects of nuclear safety that underline the Union's added value.

Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) Three major European cooperative initiatives in nuclear science and technology were launched. They are the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) and the NUGENIA association, the Implementing Geological Disposal Technology Platform (IGDTP) and the Multidisciplinary European Low Dose Initiative (MELODI). Both SNETP and IGDTP correspond with SET-Plan objectives.
