Proposal for a Regulation establishing a European Instrument for Nuclear Safety complementing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument on the basis of the Euratom Treaty

This proposal is made in the context of the multiannual financial framework (MFF) 2021-2027 as outlined in the Commission's Communication on 'A modern budget for a Union that protects, empowers and defends', which sets the main priorities and overall budgetary framework for EU external action programmes under the heading 'Neighbourhood and the World'.

The European Instrument for Nuclear Safety complements this framework with activities to be carried out within the framework of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom Treaty). The objective of the new Instrument is to promote the establishment of effective and efficient nuclear safety standards in third countries, building on the experience of nuclear safety activities within the Euratom Community.
