Brussels – Ban Russian uranium: If Europe wants to pursue nuclear power, it must rely on raw materials from other countries. <\/strong>The European Parliament is trying to put new, additional pressure on member states to finally choose the path of energy autonomy and independence within the EU Council by calling for a ban on Russian uranium, so far untouched by European sanctions and even by the roadmap to end oil and gas purchases from 2027<\/a>, but not on “fuel” for nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n

As early as next week’s plenary session, the House of Parliament is expected to vote\u00a0on\u00a0the report<\/a>,\u00a0which is\u00a0marked for Monday, 7 July,<\/strong> which highlights the EU’s still excessive\u00a0dependence on the Russian Federation.\u00a0The text, for which the rapporteur is Conservative MEP Beata Szylo (ECR), points out that in 2023, 23.5% of the uranium consumed in the EU came from Russia, and Russia enriched 30.1% of the uranium used in the EU nuclear fleet.<\/strong> It is why the European Parliament “notes with concern that Russian nuclear fuel remains present on the EU market, including through indirect supply chains.”<\/p>\n
