3 DEVCO INSC II: (2 nd Instrument for Nuclear Safety Cooperation) Promotion of an effective nuclear safety culture Responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste Total Budget: 225 M Safeguards 50% 35% 10% 16 M /y 11 M /y 3.2 M /y Geographical priorities: accessing countries, neighbourhood countries, and Africa

4 DEVCO Projects on RW and SF management Development and strengthening of the capacity of regulatory authorities and national waste management organisations. Development of waste management and spent fuel national strategy and national policy Development of regulatory framework for uranium mining and milling activities Feasibility studies and remediation of uranium legacy sites (including support to CGULS) and associated implementation through a dedicated international Environmental Remediation Fund (ERA) managed by EBRD. Specific radioactive waste/spent fuel management projects (in Ukraine and Chernobyl exclusion zone)

5 ENER Directive 2011/70/EURATOM establishing a Community framework for the responsible and safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste Member States Transpose the Directive Submit National Programme for the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste framework Submit Report on the implementation of the Directive (incl. an inventory of RAW and SF) Organize a periodic self-assessment and invite international peer review of the national framework, regulatory authority and programme

6 ENER Directive 2011/70/EURATOM (Implementation Status) Review of legislation is being finalized and dialogue with MS started 27 National programmes/ 27 reports received to date are under review Opinions about the programmes Report to Council and Parliament (including EU inventory) 2016 Foreseen workshop with EU MS on lessons learnt in 2017

7 ENER PINC (Communication on a Nuclear Illustrative Programme) A requirement under Article 40 of the EURATOM Treaty (Adopted 4 April 2016, followed by consultation with EESC, final publication in second half of 2016) The first PINC published after Fukushima Investment in nuclear safety: the key priority The first time covering investments in the whole nuclear lifecycle Transparent and forward-looking information to stimulate debate

8 Strategic review of the issues at stake (1) SUSTAINABILITY: EU energy policies of the time not sustainable Energy = 80% of EU greenhouse gas (GHG) emission1 Energy & transport policies if no change = 5% more EU CO2 emissions by 2030 & 55% world-wide. EU commitment SECURITY OF SUPPLY International Energy Agency (IEA) forecast global oil demand 41% increase by 2030 Some Member States (MS) dependent on single gas supplier Europe also more & more dependent on imported hydrocarbons & if no change: Energy consumption dependence: 50% today, 65% in 2030 Gas: 57% to 84%, Oil: 82% to 93% Electricity: + 1.5% / year Investment needed in electricity generation in next 25 yrs: 900 billion 1) European Environment Agency, 2006; 2) IEA world energy outlook, 2006

9 Strategic Review of the issues at stake (2) COMPETITIVENESS: EU exposed to price volatility & rises of hydrocarbons "2006 hypothesis of oil price at 100 $/barrel in 2030!! vs 60 $ then = increase of EU-27 energy total import bill by 170 billion & for every EU citizen / yr Consideration of 1. An Internal Energy Market to stimulate fair and competitive energy prices, energy savings and higher investment 2. Carbon constraints to promote investments in the electricity sector 3. Boosting investments in energy efficiency & renewable energy 4. Keeping global lead in climate change to enable & drive global research agenda

10 European Energy Policy the set of policies Framework & action plan documents for EU implementation 2007, Energy policy for Europe: COM (2007) , SET-PLAN: COM(2007) 723 A European Strategic Energy Technology Plan 'Towards a low carbon future' 2010, Energy strategy 2020: COM(2010) 639 A strategy for competitive, sustainable and secure energy 2011, Energy Roadmap 2050: COM(2011) , Energy strategy 2030: COM(2014) 15 A policy framework for climate and energy in the period from 2020 to , Energy Security Strategy: COM(2014) , Energy Union: (Juncker Commission & investment plan) COM(2015) 80 A Framework Strategy for a Resilient Energy Union with a Forward-Looking Climate Change Policy

11 Action plan The action plan of the 2007 Energy policy for Europe 1. The Internal Energy Market 2. Solidarity between Member States and security of supply for oil, gas and electricity 3. A long-term commitment to greenhouse gases reduction and the EU Emissions Trading System 4. An ambitious programme of energy efficiency measures at Community, national, local and international level 5. A longer term target for renewable energy 6. A European Strategic Energy Technology Plan 7. Towards a low CO2 fossil fuel future 8. The future of nuclear 9. An International Energy Policy that actively pursues Europe's interests 10.Effective monitoring and reporting
