"Not using nuclear energy was and still is Greece's choice," foreign ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras on Wednesday said in response to a relevant question on the operation of nuclear plants in neighbouring countries.
He stressed that the issue is being examined within the framework of the EU and procedures have been activated to "ensure that the nuclear plants' operation will be assessed very carefully".
"The crisis in Japan speaks for itself," Delavekouras underlined, adding that "Greece's position is that specifications should be strictly observed and thorough inspections should be conducted, while the nuclear energy issue as a whole should be dealt with very cautiously".
