lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, we will probably never know the real ecological, biological, psychological and economic magnitude of the Chernobyl disaster. As well as the deaths and the terrible illnesses in the region, 15 years on there is still a frightening legacy of radioactive contamination. An area about the size of Britain is permanently contaminated and uninhabitable. Much less tragic, but serious even so, in my constituency in Wales, following contamination from Chernobyl, 359 farms are still under restrictions today and thousands of sheep are restricted from movement to ensure that no animal contaminated with radioactivity enters the food chain. There has been continuous monitoring for 15 years and the restrictions will last for another 10-15 years. We must have sustainable energy policies. Nuclear power is no solution. It is not clean and it is not cheap. In over 40 years of operation the nuclear industry has not even solved the problem of radioactive waste and, above all, it poses massive threats to human health and the environment. Nothing illustrates that better than Chernobyl and we have to learn from it. We may never know the full impact of the disaster but we must make every effort, as outlined in this resolution, to find out all we can and provide effective assistance to help the worst-affected areas."@en1
