Tanner rejects French nuclear protection: Austria remains neutral!

A particularly important project is the European air defense project Sky Shield, where the first steps towards short-distance defense have already been taken. A decision about a medium -range system is imminent. This shows that, despite its military neutrality, Austria acts as a "very credible partner" in international security policy.

peace contributions and military neutrality

Austria has been making continuous contributions to peace operations since 1960. Tanner has emphasized that it was necessary to prepare for possible threats, especially by Russia, and to strengthen the country's ability to defend. The measures that are implemented according to the plan also include the modernization of the barracks to support the domestic construction industry.

The development plan 2032+ takes into account technological progress in the military area. Investments include drones and drone defense. Tanner emphasizes the importance of common procurement in European security architecture in order to build military skills more efficiently. Europe should become self -sufficient and resilient.

accelerate decisions

As part of the nuclear security, the EU is obliged to legally anchor retrofits through the "Nuclear Security" guideline. The failure to comply with these regulations can lead to a breach of contract and sanctions, as reports bmimi.gv.at. The European Court of Justice finds that based on the Euratom Treaty, basic norms for nuclear security can also be created, while the Member States are solely responsible for nuclear supervision.

history and demands of Austria

The development of nuclear security standards in the EU shows that Austria actively demanded a guideline for the security of nuclear systems in 2003. The European Nuclear Safety Regulator Group (Ensreg) was founded in 2007 to develop new guidelines. After the Fukushima disaster, the legal framework was checked, which finally led to the acceptance of the changed directive 2014/87/Euratom. This strengthens the national supervisory authorities and calls for a legally binding EU-wide security goal.

Austria has prevailed with its demands for legacy and transparency and actively supports the EU in these matters. The national and European endeavors to increase the security standards should also help future challenges in nuclear security.
