During a press gathering yesterday to mark Bastille Day, observed on July 14, French Ambassador in Amman Corinne Breuz said France respects Jordan’s right to civilian nuclear energy as outlined in different international treaties and conventions.
"There is no reason for Jordan not to build its own nuclear reactor," she said in answer to a question, adding that Paris respects Jordan’s promise to various international conventions and International Atomic Energy Agency regulations. France, which has signed a nuclear cooperation agreement with the Kingdom, is support Jordan’s nuclear power programme in some areas, Breuz pointed out.
The representative referred to French Prime Minister Francois Fillon’s visit to the Kingdom in February, which culminated in the signing of a uranium mining agreement concrete the way for an open-pit uranium mine to be constructed in the central area by French firm AREVA and the Jordanian-French Uranium Mining Company. The firm is operating within a 1,400-square-kilometre allowance area in the central region, encompassing Swaqa, Khan Azzabib, Wadi Maghar and Attarat, and is predictable to commence uranium mining as early as 2012.
