International pressure are being exerted on the Egyptian government to force it into signing the Additional Protocol to the Convention on the prohibition of nuclear proliferation, including allowing the International Atomic Energy Agency oversight to all nuclear installations Egyptian, in exchange for technical support for its nuclear program for peaceful use.
These pressures come at a time when Egypt face "obstacles" to its ambitious plan for the use of nuclear energy.
The form is a shock for the Egyptian government, which had received international assurances in the wake of the announcement by President Mubarak for Egypt's determination to revive its nuclear program for peaceful use.
But fears of an international pressure through the International Atomic Energy Agency and a threat not to move forward in providing aid to Egypt and assist in the selection of an appropriate site for a nuclear reactor had prevented to take this step so far.
Egypt plans to send a high-level envoys in the coming stage to a number of countries advanced in the nuclear field to request a support in the project.
Egypt will first study the political demands of those States, before resolving its decision in this regard, while analyzing the requirements; such as signing the Additional Protocol, which Egypt refuses to sign today, recognizing Israel nuclear arsenal and agreeing on a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction.
