Professor Dr. Antonis Metaxas, Managing Partner of Metaxas & Associates Law Firm, was invited as a speaker at the event on nuclear energy organised on Saturday, November 7th, by MEP Dimitrios Tsiodras.

Professor Metaxas participated in the thematic panel “Institutional Framework, Safety and National Strategy”, together with senior representatives of the public administration and the scientific community.

Focusing on the legal dimension of the issue, Professor Metaxas underlined that any discussion on the possible future use of nuclear energy must be conducted with seriousness, scientific substantiation and long-term strategic planning. At the same time, the current juncture calls for clear prioritisation. The most immediate challenges of the domestic energy market are the competitiveness of energy costs, the exploitation of renewables with the rapid integration of storage, affordable energy prices for households and businesses, security of supply, adequacy and stability of the power system and effective competition in the relevant markets. The key is, therefore, to address effectively the pressing challenges of the Greek energy market, while keeping open the horizon of the country’s future energy choices, in full respect of the European institutional and legal framework.
