According to a new announcement, Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs met with the first chairman of the European High Level Group (HLG) on Nuclear Safety and Waste Management, Mr Andrej Stritar, in Brussels today. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss nuclear safety and waste management issues, particularly the establishment of common European rules in the field, ahead of the HLG's third meeting in April. 'Citizens main concerns in the field of nuclear energy are nuclear safety and the radioactive waste management. The Commission's foremost priorities in the field aim at addressing these concerns. It is essential that the member's of the HLG agree on common principles governing nuclear safety, which will ensure a solid basis for the Group's future activities' said Commissioner Piebalgs after meeting with Mr. Stritar. The High Level Group was created by the European Commission in order to develop common understanding and reinforce common approaches in the fields of nuclear safety and waste management. It is composed of senior officials from national regulatory or nuclear safety authorities, who will help the Commission to identify priority safety issues, as well as advise and assist it in progressively developing European rules regarding the safety of nuclear installations and the safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste. The European Council of 8-9 March endorsed the Commission's proposal to create the European High Level Group on Nuclear Safety and Waste management. With the support of various other EU institutions for this idea, the European Commission established the group in July 2007. More<
