Draft reply by the WEU Council to Assembly Recommendation 253 on a European policy on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy (London, 29 October 1974)

Text
On 29 October 1974, the Secretary-General of Western European Union (WEU) circulates a draft reply by the WEU Council to Assembly Recommendation 253 on a European policy on the peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The text includes the original French proposal and a series of British amendments, all of which are subsequently adopted in the final version of the reply to the Recommendation (C (74) 195). The two delegations emphasise the fact that the main guarantee of European independence in the nuclear field lies not in reactors but in supplies of uranium and, as the British emphasise, in the means of enriching it.
