00:00We are concerned about the stability of the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
00:07People see in nuclear weapons the ultimate guarantor of peace.
00:14It's debatable whether that is the case or not.
00:18We have been working as a global community in a system which is based on nuclear deterrence,
00:27basically with a limited number of countries.
00:30In the case of Europe that you are mentioning,
00:33one has to make a distinction between developing domestic nuclear weapons
00:37and or having the benefit of other countries' nuclear weapons for protection.
00:44This, I would say, is not new.
00:47Remember that in Europe there are American nuclear weapons
00:51that have been stationed for many, many years.
00:54Here the debate is more about whose nuclear weapons should be providing this protection.
01:03Should they be from America or from other countries?
01:08In any case, for the IAEA it is very important in these times of uncertainty
01:13and in these times of high tensions not to lose the objective
01:19of limiting the number of countries with nuclear weapons.
