The sustained terrorist threat keeps us aware that transport is both a target and an instrument of terrorism. Following the events of 11 September 2001, the EU reacted swiftly with legislation and quality control inspection regimes to enhance security in aviation and maritime transport. This acquis will be refined on the basis of experience. A level playing field needs to be stimulated where the cost of security measures is likely to distort competition. Security rules may need to be extended to land transport, including urban transport and train stations and the intermodal logistics chain. Moreover, an in-depth analysis has to be carried o ...[+++]ut concerning critical transport infrastructure within the framework of the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP).

4. Recalls, however, that the stress tests initiated by the Commission and ENSREG were limited in scope and were primarily intended to assess the robustness and preparedness of NPPs in the face of extremely severe external events; considers, therefore, that the stress tests were primarily aimed at assessing the robustness and preparedness of NPPs against such severe external events and were not and could not be intended to replace the detailed safety reviews of NPPs which are carried out under the national competence of the Member States for assessing the nuclear safety of NPPs; urges the Commission, therefore, to include the overall r ...[+++]obustness of NPPs (in particular with regard to possible cracks in pressure vessels) as a specific criterion in future stress tests;

Conclusion four reads: ‘to date, the consideration of the known circumstances of the Fukushima accident has not revealed any gaps in scope or depth of the safety assessment principles for nuclear facilities in the UK’.

2. For the licensing of construction of new nuclear power reactors Member States shall aim to develop additional safety requirements, reflecting the continuous improvement of the operating experience of existing reactors, insight gained from safety analyses for operating plants, state of the art methodologies and technology and results of safety research .
