Decision on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage of 21 May 1963 ('Vienna Convention') to ratify the Protocol amending that Convention in the interest of the EU, or to accede to it

This procedure seeks to authorize EU Member States that are part of the Vienna Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage to ratify or join a new protocol. The goal is to update and strengthen the rules regarding who is responsible and how compensation is handled in the event of a nuclear accident.

This affects EU countries operating nuclear power plants and those neighboring them, ensuring a more consistent and effective legal framework for liability and victim compensation across the region.
