Luxembourg to join Austria in anti-nuclear EU lawsuit

LUXEMBOURG is to join Austria in suing the European Commission for giving permission to Hungary to expand its Paks nuclear plant.

Environment Minister Carole Dieschbourg told reporters yesterday that her government would add its weight to the case that Austria is to file at the Court of Justice of the European Union, the bloc’s top judicial institution.

“It is important that no public funds be invested in nuclear power,” she said. “It is definitely the wrong way.”
