French nuclear group Areva S.A.(AREVA.FR) may decide in December whether to discontinue some of its activities in Germany once the country phases out its nuclear power operations, Chief Executive Luc Oursel tells German newspaper Handelsblatt in an advanced release of its Wednesday edition.

"We are looking at which services our customers in Germany will continue to require and how export of nuclear production and services from Germany looks to other countries," Oursel says.

The result of this review also depends on whether nuclear technology is still welcome here, Oursel adds.

"We might decide to phase-out some activities," he is reported as saying.

A preliminary decision is due in December when Oursel will present his new strategy to the supervisory board, the report says.

"However, it is clear that Areva will remain in Germany . The energy transition also offers further opportunities," Oursel says, adding that the company has a strong foothold in renewable energies.
