"Mr President, I should like to confess to the Members of this Chamber that I feel rather ambivalent about this issue. On the one hand, I am an old opponent of nuclear power and have for many years been a member of the board of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate. On the other hand, I am chairman of the Delegation to the Joint EU-Czech Republic Parliamentary Committee.
I should therefore quickly like to say three things. First of all: concern about nuclear power means that safety will not only be good but that it will, at all times, be as good as it possibly can be. Secondly, the same rules naturally apply to the Czech Republic as apply to other candidate States and, in the long run, to Member States. Thirdly, this resolution ought to be seen as part of an open dialogue with the Czech Republic, a dialogue we are conducting within the framework of the Joint Parliamentary Committee but which ought also to be possible to conduct in our respective parliaments.
We must broaden out this debate, which is part and parcel of our democracy. This ought not, however, to lead to hard feelings between the Czech Republic and the Member States of the EU. I hope that the Czechs are able to give positive answers to all the questions and that a favourable solution can in that way be found to this problem."@en1
