From the publication:
Preface The EURATOM treaty implies that the European Community is directly responsible for nuclear power issues. The planned realisation of the Single European Market by the 31. 12. 1992 could lead to the danger of (nuclear) power also being declared a commodity in the framework of the free movement of goods. This would open the way to feeding French or Belgian nuclear power into the grids of the neighbouring countries. It would then be even more difficult to work out ways of opting out of nuclear power than before the magic date of the 1. 1. 1993. The Rainbow Group in the European Parliament has submitted this study in order to provide information on a complete opting out of nuclear power. The Federal Republic of Germany serves as an example to demonstrate that it is feasible to opt out of nuclear power. A concept for opting out - that is imperative, and tenable from an ecological angle (it would not accelerate the dying of the forests and the threat of a climate catastrophe) - that would not put restraints on electricity supply and is compatible in social terms (no electricity costs explosion). Thus this study refers to the proposals made so far by the Rainbow Group in the European Parliament. (Frank Schwalba·Hoth)
