Barack Obama and Indian PM discuss new Indian nuclear regulation

At Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit Barack Obama and Indian PM discussed the prospects of further cooperation and Indian nuclear liability law. US consider new law too strict as it envisages operator of nuclear plant has a full legal responsibility in case of accident and US companies suppose the compensation sum may be enormous. New regulation makes US energy companies less competitive with French and Russian rivals in the Indian market. During the discussion Indian PM expressed readiness to ease the new regulation.
