European Council agrees to Lithuania’s proposals concerning nuclear safety

Hello bloggers

I can’t believe our journey comes to an end. Right now we’re in Lithuania and in two day we’re going home.

Today I would like to tell you something more about the proposals of Lithuania concerning nuclear safety.
The European Council agreed that maximum safety of nuclear energy must be ensured in Europe, and around Europe. All the objectives set by Lithuania for this meeting have been achieved, as the European Council agreed to Lithuania's suggestions that all nuclear power plants within and outside the European Union must be subject to safety tests.

Lithuania joins EU’s new economic pact barring economic populism. The Pact brings together all eurozone countries and is open to other EU Member States.
According to President Grybauskaitė, Lithuania is joining the Pact despite not being a eurozone country, as the country needs to continue responsible budget and fiscal policy.

“The Pact will be beneficial to Lithuanian people and the domestic economic growth in the future, as it promotes employment, business growth and, no less importantly, ties hands of those who may want to pass excessively populist decisions. On the basis of this Pact, Lithuania will have to develop and present to the European Commission a concrete action plan outlining the steps to be followed by Lithuania to meet its commitments under the Pact," the President said.

I could not agree more with the president of Lithuania to subject every nuclear plant to strict rules and safety controls.

I hope you all enjoyed these blogs and more important that you learned something out of the items that I wrote about.
If we have a government in Belgium by the time I’ll get back, I’ll write a blog about it.

Goodbye and greetings

Sarina
