The European Atomic Energy Community (EAEC or Euratom) is an international organisation founded in 1957 with the purpose of creating a specialist market for nuclear power in Europe, developing nuclear energy and distributing it to its member states while selling the surplus to non-member states. It is legally distinct from the European Union (EU), but has the same membership, and is governed by the EU's institutions. Since 2014, Switzerland has also participated in Euratom programmes as an associated state.
Currently, its main focus is on the construction of the International Fusion Reactor ITER financed under the nuclear part of FP7. Euratom also provides a mechanism for providing loans to finance nuclear projects in the EU.
It was established by the Euratom Treaty on 25 March 1957 alongside the European Economic Community/EEC, being taken over by the executive institutions of the EEC in 1967. Although other communities were merged in 1993 and 2009, the nuclear program has maintained a legally distinct nature from the European Union.
I don't wanna know where you wanna go
I don't wanna see who you wanna be
You told me that you'd listen to the words that I would say
Part of me had told me that I'd never see that day
Think of all the times you could have thrown it all away
When everyone, everyone said I had to make you pay
Let's not mend what we cannot repair
Mainly 'cause I'm only just a spare
Our time is wasting away
What do you want me to say?
I'm losing nerve day by day
And then you turn and run
I don't wanna know how your body grows
You took it all from me, and you hit it on the nose
Think of all the times you couldn't think of things to say
Now everyone, everyone said I had to make you pay
I can't find the means to understand
You'd never guess by how it all began
I'll be sure to take my time
You are not an enemy of mine
Our time is wasting away
What do you want me to say?
I'm losing nerve day by day
