Euratom's objection was based on a comparatively minor issue: the condition that the nuclear fuel be bought from Russia exclusively. This is still something on which Russia might go along on a treaty change. But the EU's competition authority might rule against the exclusiveness clauses for all the other contracts to be awarded on the basis of the credit because public tenders should be competitive.
