Sumario: EU Council Conclusions on the First Session of Non-Proliferation Treaty Preparatory Committee (NPT PrepCom) (23 April 2007: Luxembourg)

2795th GENERAL AFFAIRS Council meeting, Luxembourg

The Council adopted the following conclusions:

"The Council reaffirms its support for the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT), which represents the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime, the essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament under Article VI of the Treaty and also the key element in the further development of the applications of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in accordance with Article IV of the Treaty.

We are firmly committed to strengthening the international nuclear non-proliferation regime as underlined in the EU Common Position of 25 April 2005.

We are committed to contributing to a successful outcome of the Review Process, which will commence with the first session of the Preparatory Committee to be held in Vienna from 30 April to 11 May of this year.

The Council calls on all state parties to the NPT to join the EU in making every effort to ensure a smooth start to the Review Process. We are looking forward to constructive and substantive discussions in the forthcoming session of the Preparatory Committee aimed at maintaining the integrity and enhancing the authority of the NPT."
