Ved brev af 15. juli 2005 svarede Kommissionen, at dens undersøgelse kun ville omfatte de civile aspekter, og at vurderingen af projekter, der var af betydning for den nationale sikkerhed, ville blive foretaget netop for at udelukke dem fra den endelige beslutning.
By letter of 15 July 2005, the Commission replied that the Commission's investigation would be confined to civilian aspects and that the assessment of projects that were a matter of national security would be carried out precisely in order to exclude them from the scope of the final decision.
