It does not bar the transfer of enrichment and reprocessing technologies.A French Embassy statement said in New Delhi that the country'sNational Assembly yesterday adopted a law authorising the ratification of the Cooperation Agreement between India and France on the Development of Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.France was the first country to sign a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with India within days of the lifting of the international nuclear trade embargo on India last year.
