Summary
The UK's Environment Minister will be in Bremen, Germany, on June 25th and 26th for a meeting of the signatories to the OSPAR Convention (the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic).
In 1998 OSPAR called for significant reductions in radioactive discharges. The UK Government has however sabotaged action on reducing radioactive discharges from the Sellafield reprocessing plant - one of the worst culprits in terms of radioactive contamination.
This Greenpeace briefing exposes the UK's failure to act to reduce radioactive pollution in Europe.
