lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I meant no disrespect to you or to Mr Rübig, who has produced an excellent report, or to the Commissioner, by being late, but, as my colleague has explained, it was completely outside my control. Unfortunately it is another incident in the ongoing saga of accessing Strasbourg. I am glad that a clear distinction has now been made between nuclear safeguards and nuclear safety and security. I would like to see the Safeguards Office getting all the resources it needs to continue to do its job to the fullest extent possible, particularly with accession countries coming in. I welcome very much Commissioner Palacio's indication on 23 April, and again here today, of her intent to submit a nuclear package, which I hope we can see this autumn. This will deal with the whole area of nuclear safety and security. Could I also ask her as a matter of form to include in that package the need for proper consultation and communication between neighbouring States within the European Union, including the accession States, so that concerns can be discussed in a proper way, in a proper consultative forum. Lord Inglewood of BNFL recently indicated that he would certainly take on board the concerns I expressed to him on this subject, in the same way that the concerns of the Austrians in relation to Temelin have been structured by the Commission. I would like that template to be used throughout the EU as part of the package of nuclear safety and security measures, so that there is a proper procedure and a proper forum to discuss real and perceived fears. I accept that maybe not all the fears are real, but even the perceived fears need to be dealt with before they get out of hand and become too politicised. If we have such a forum as of right, with the proper expertise there to listen to both sides, it will go a long way towards helping everyone to live in peace on this very vexed issue. I come from a State that is non-nuclear and against electricity being generated from nuclear power. I respect the rights of other Member States, but they must respect our right and listen to our concerns and act on them. We look to you, Commissioner, to put such a structure in place, so that a forum of this kind could perhaps be included in the promised nuclear package, which I welcome very much. I thank my colleague, Mr Rübig, for an excellent report."@en1
