EU proposes agreement between Brazil and Euratom

The European Commission has suggested establishing an agreement between Brazil and Euratom, the European Atomic Energy Community, along the lines of agreements already in place with other countries. The agreement could either focus on the specific field of fusion, by support Brazil's accession to the ITER project, or on broader areas of nuclear research. The suggestion accompanies a proposal by the Commission to form a Strategic Partnership between the EU and Brazil.
