One of the issues raised at the meeting was international co-operation in the field of nuclear and radiation safety. Yury Yevdokimov told the president that the working group of the State Council Presidium prepared concrete suggestions on the problems, which earlier complicated the co-operation in this field: taxation of the donors, liability for the nuclear damage, access of the international experts to the restricted Russian nuclear sites.
