 Germany's Schroeder says atomic export to China unstoppable
The interview followed Schroeder's huddle with Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, the strongest voice of the ecologist Greens, junior partners in the ruling coalition, to quiet the controversy.
The Greens, the key force behind Germany's atomic energy pull-out, have demanded formal coalition talks on the deal, which Schroeder announced during a trip to China this month.
Greens deputies said, however, that they would not go quietly and were angered by what they saw as the foreign minister's passivity.

Green reformists respond that Green radicalism is unrealistic and unnescessarily adversarial.

Fischer predicted that the Greens would not die and said he expected the party congress to reach a sensible decision on nuclear power and choose new leaders who would give the party a good chance of winning back the third place in German politics.
The congress is due to elect successors to Roestel and her co-chair, Antje Radcke of the party's radical wing, and appoint members of an expanded party executive.
Fischer himself, a controversial figure among the ecologists, announced on Wednesday that he would run for a seat on the party council, the first time he has tested his personal popularity with his colleagues by seeking party office.

There were widespread fears after a May 14 election in North Rhine-Westphalia that the SPD would drop the Greens as their coalition partners in favour of the resurgent Free Democrats (FDP) - a hostile move towards the Greens.
The Greens, badly weakened in the election, were eager to resume the coalition and accepted many SPD demands but retained two seats in the administration's proposed cabinet.
The Greens in North Rhine-Westphalia were unpopular because they had been more tenacious in defending the party's ecologist and pacifist roots than the national Greens.

Germany's Fischer warns of collapse of his Greens BERLIN (Reuters) - German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer has warned that his ecologist Greens, junior coalition partners to the ruling Social Democrats, faced a make-or-break challenge to modernize their party and stop internal bickering.
Brought into federal government in 1998 as partner to Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, the ecologist, pacifist Greens have had a tough time of late, losing their place as Germany's third largest party to the resurgent liberal Free Democrats.
An opinion poll published Thursday in Die Welt daily showed that while 46 percent of those asked saw the withdrawal from nuclear power as a success for the Greens, 44 percent said they saw no new causes for the party to champion in the future.

But following a string of strong election gains by the Greens, the Christian Democratic Party (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), have begun to see the Greens as a force to be reckoned with.
While there's no doubt that having been the SPD's junior coalition partner since 1998 has helped the Greens to mature as a party, analysts also say it was only due to the Greens' huge gains in the last general election that the SPD even got a second term.

LIONEL Jospin, France’s Socialist prime minister, faces a dangerous split in left-wing ranks after his ecologist allies threatened not to back him in the presidential poll unless he agrees to end nuclear power.
Noël Mamère, the Greens party candidate in the two-round vote, attacked Mr Jospin for what he described as his "declaration of war" by saying that his Socialist Party had never agreed to Greens demands to phase out nuclear energy.
A dozen candidates will run in the first round on 21 April but only two will contest the run-off on 5 May. Opinion polls say Greens make up about 10 per cent of the left-wing vote and Mr Jospin would need their support in the second round to win.
