"Mr President, the accident which has just happened in Japan shows that nuclear power can never be completely safe. Even in a technologically very advanced system, the so-called human factor plays a decisive role. The resolution which has been produced is a good one, even if I should like to have seen it go further still in the positions it adopts. An example of this is point 9, because it ought to be obvious that one should not have reprocessing contracts with countries which do not comply with international standards. As we all know, Japan is one of the world’s technologically most developed countries. Nuclear power and the way in which nuclear fuel is handled are probably, all in all, no less safe in Japan than they are in our own countries. It may be worth remembering this when we happily criticise unsafe nuclear energy in other countries but do so less readily in the case of our own countries. All that is, in fact, completely certain is the fact that one can never be certain that nuclear power is completely safe."@en1
