Italy is to be taken before Europe's highest court for failing to adopt emergency measures in preparation for a nuclear accident, the European Commission said Wednesday. The commission said in a statement that it had received complaints that Italy contravened parts of Europe's Euratom treaty governing plans to respond to a nuclear emergency and making public any necessary health measures.

"Complete and transparent national regulations are an essential element to ensure a high level of protection for the population against radiation," the statement said.

It said that despite a warning, Italy had failed to show it was fully adopting the measures and would have to bring Rome before the European Court of Justice, based in Luxembourg.

Italy produces no nuclear energy of its own.
