European Nuclear Energy Forum in Prague (22 and 23 May 2008)
Underlining the high importance, Commission President Barroso and Commissioner for Energy, Andris Piebalgs will participate to the opening session of the 2nd European Nuclear energy Forum in Prague, together with several Prime Ministers, high representatives of the Member States, members of the European Parliament, key CEOs from the Industry and high ranking representatives of the civil society.
The purpose of the European Nuclear Energy Forum is to organise on the basis of the European Council's mandate, an open and structured debate, without taboos, on key issues with regard to opportunities and risks of nuclear energy in the EU.
The background:
The need to come gradually to a low carbon energy supply in Europe opened again the view towards the role of nuclear energy. Therefore, more and more EU Member States reconsider the continued, increased or new use of nuclear energy in a low-carbon energy mix, especially to assure base load capacity.
The request of the 2007 Spring Summit of the Head of States and Governments to consider launching an open debate on the opportunities and risks of nuclear energy proved to be very timely and appropriate. The Commission responded to this request by creating the European Nuclear Energy Forum, which had its first meeting in November 2007 in Bratislava. See conclusions below.
The event:
The European Nuclear Energy Forum will take place at the Czernin Palace (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Prague.
The first day ends with a dinner at the Lichtenstein Palace.
