3. DISCUSSION OF THIS SUBJECT BEGAN AT LUNCH. MOSAR (COMMISSION) CIRCULATED A 'NON PAPER! (COPY BY BAG) SUMMARISING CURRENT COMMISSION THINKING AND THE GENERAL SHAPE OF THEIR FORTHCOMING FRAMEWORK COMMUNICATION. (THIS CLOSELY FOLLOWED THE EXPECTED PATTERN). MR WALKER (UK) SUPPORTED BY BANGEMANN (GERMANY) EMPHASISED THE IMPORT- ANCE OF PURSUING WORK IN THE APPROPRITATE INTERNATIONAL AGENCIES. THE COMMISSION MIGHT ALSO LOOK AT AND MAKE KNOWN THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON EUROPE, THE WORLD AND THE THIRD WORLD OF THE COMPLETE ABANDONMENT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY.

MR WALKER, BANGEMANN AND SCHEER (FRANCE) ALL EMPHASISED THAT INSPECTION WAS A MATTER FOR MEMBER STATES ALTHOUGH ALL SHOULD OF COURSE OBSERVE AGREED INTERNATIONAL SAFETY STANDARDS.
4. LATER IN THE EVENING THE COMMISSION CIRCULATED A DRAFT STATEMENT INTENDED TO SUMMARISE THE LUNCH TIME DISCUSSION. THE CHIEF POINT OF INTEREST IN THE ENSUING TEXTUAL DISCUSSION WAS SCHEER'S INSISTENCE THAT COMMUNITY COOPERATION ON THIS SUBJECT BE CONFINED TO MATTERS WITHIN COMMUNTIY COMPETENCE.
