Directions for the Future

Unlike earlier sessions, there was no rapporteur for the fourth and final working session. The special feature of this session was a keynote speech by Mrs Gro Harlem Brundtland, the Norwegian Minister for the Environment, who had listened to all the preceding debates. She spoke after the position paper had been introduced by its author, Dr Jack Hollander, executive director of the committee on nuclear and alternative energy systems of the United States National Academy of Sciences. In the chair for this session was the Italian parliamentarian, Senator Renato Treu, chairman of the committee on science and technology of the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly.
