Italy and France yesterday Tuesday signed a co-operation agreement on nuclear power that marks the return of Italy to nuclear energy two decades after it was banned by a referendum.
Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian Prime Minister, and President Sarkozy signed the accord at a Franco-Italian summit in Rome also attended by the heads of Enel and Electricite de France (EdF). Mr Berlusconi vowed to reintroduce nuclear-generated electricity shortly after he returned to power for the third time in last April's elections, saying that construction of new reactors would begin by 2013.
