I-Dnes informs that European parliament accepted a resolution which calls for European Commision to „consider Temelin’s shutdown” and to organize a international conference on the issue (reportedly, the conference should consider the cost of Temelin’s shutdown). Czech diplomats claim that European Commission is forced to do something it is probably not entitled to do.
Although the news is negative for CEZ because it suggests that more parties are going to be engaged in the dispute over Temelin, it is far from clear how the EU could force CEZ to close the plant apart from linking the issue with the Czech Republic’s entry to the EU.
