lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I would like first of all, to congratulate the rapporteur, especially on his skill in extracting the nuclear issue from this report. But, apart from that, like him I believe that the problem that Parliament has is that we cannot find the right time to tackle the matter of energy policy in a general and in-depth fashion. This is due to the omissions in the Treaty, and also perhaps to Parliament itself. In fact, with the recent preparation of a report on renewable energy sources, what we can see is a piecemeal approach to this issue, which nonetheless is a fundamental issue: once again, I agree with the rapporteur and with many of the speakers. As regards this report, we cannot restrict it to the environmental impact related to CO2. It is a very important aspect of the problem but, as Mr Belder and other speakers have said, there are many other aspects, in particular the nuclear issue, which have an ecological impact and which must be dealt with. The problem also involves the appropriations. Lacking a single policy on energy, the European Union is proliferating appropriations, especially those for research. This is evidence that even today there is a hidden policy to promote nuclear power, which is no longer tolerable, in my opinion. The 12% renewable energy target is totally inadequate and, even despite that, there is a risk that it will not be possible to achieve it. It is essential, therefore, to unify the energy debate in order to determine exactly what our investment choices are, and to put an end to the contradictory situation whereby at least five members of the European Union, Austria, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and Greece, who do not actually use nuclear power, are obliged to finance a nuclear policy which is still subsidised, by more than 50%, by the European Union. A debate must be initiated, I believe, as a matter of urgency, in order to have real discussion of the matter of energy, and to end the practice of tackling the subject piecemeal, which has been the case until now."@en1
