Save the Climate's response to the European Commission's PINC consultation

The European Commission launched a call for contributions relative to the European Community Nuclear Indicative Program (PINC). Proposals were to be submitted from April 14 to May 12, 2025.

This call for contributions is an obligation under Article 40 of the Euratom Treaty for an opinion to the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC). Note that the latest PINC dates from 2017 and is largely obsolete.

The consultation was open to a wide public with a view to collect opinions and feedback in order to assess the EU's needs in terms of investments in nuclear power.  This is a critical subject given that nuclear energy is set to play a major role in the EU's decarbonization process, as is strongly emphasized in the Draghi Report on the EU’s competitiveness, published at the end of 2024.

Unfortunately, nuclear power still meets with opposition both within the European Commission and from several European countries.

It was therefore deemed essential for Sauvons Le Climat to respond to this consultation, like many other organizations, the Academies of Science and of Technology, and so on.
