lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the accident in Japan is, of course, something we must also concern ourselves with here in Europe for at least two reasons. Firstly, it has created uncertainty about the safety of nuclear power. Now Japan is planning to build 20 additional reactors between now and the year 2010 and to make itself enormously dependent on nuclear energy. It is therefore unacceptable that neither Japan’s own people nor the rest of the world have been provided with adequate information, and their failure to involve the IAEA in the investigation is equally unacceptable. Of course, it should actually be standard international practice to involve the IAEA when accidents of this kind occur. Secondly, nuclear MOX fuel is shipped from Europe, for example from Cherbourg and Sellafield, to Japan. Apart from the problem of what may happen to it out at sea, British Nuclear Fuel has admitted that safety data relating to MOX shipments has been falsified. Of course that just cannot be allowed to happen and is every bit as unacceptable. I would like, in due course, to hear from the Commission about what kind of European Union regulations are applicable to such shipments."@en1
