Urges the Commission and the Member States to ensure that the G7 confirms and acts upon the commitments given by the Ministers for Environment in Hamilton, by adopting a global strategy in order to integrate the environment into decision-making procedures, particularly for the granting of loans or aid financed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank;2.

Asks the Commission and the Member States to draw the attention of the G7 to the need simply to increase its financial aid to the Ukraine on condition that the Ukranian President respects his commitment to close down the Chernobyl plant by the year 2000, through a rigorous closing-down procedure including a binding timetable;4. Asks the Commission and the Member States, further, to include in this plan the provision of the necessary infrastructure for storage and treatment of radioactive waste, which will be particularly dangerous following the decommissioning of the plant;5. Reaffirms strongly its position adopted within the framework of the 1995 budget that part of the European Union's financial aid to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe should be used to close down nuclear plants of a similar type to Chernobyl, and consequently insists that the G7 promotes measures for energy saving and energy sufficiency;6.
