EU states should individually decide whether to use nuclear power

London (Platts)--10Jul2006

Whether to use nuclear power should continue to be up to individual
European Union states, Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen said in a
speech to the Business Leaders Convention in St. Petersburg July 7. He said
that energy issues will be key both for the upcoming G8 summit and during
the Finnish presidency of the EU. Finland assumed the European Union
presidency at the beginning of the month. The G8 summit is scheduled for
July 15-17 in St. Petersburg. Vanhanen said that, while the choice of
nuclear or other types of generation should not be a blanket EU decision,
the EU still has "a crucial role to play in building a real internal market
in energy."
