"Madam President, on the Nicholson report, I voted against it because paragraph 20 seeks to delay the completion of the second nuclear reactor at Cernavoda. It is a “CANDU” nuclear reactor of western design. There are no safety implications involved.
Paragraph 20 of the report calls for the creation of a sustainable energy strategy. That strategy has already been put in place. It has been paid for through the PHARE programme. I am surprised that a committee like the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy seems to be unaware of this fact.
For that reason I voted against the Nicholson report. That particular item was inaccurate, unnecessary and an aggravation to a country which is seeking to join us. I wish that the anti-nuclear people on these committees would realise that this constant sniping at the applicant countries on this issue is not doing our relations with them any good at all."@en1
