The exit must be a reality,“ says Werner Kogler, Federal spokesman of the Green party, and elect the top candidate for the EU election.

„Maturity extensions increase the safety risk significantly. The power plant concepts of the 1970s and 1980s are outdated,“ says Kogler from the study, the presented Anschober today, together with the European Greens in Brussels and discussed. Kogler: „This Alliance shows the importance of European cooperation of the Greens. It is only together that can be set the interests of the nuclear industry. The Initiative for a Europe-wide runtime limit is more.“
