"Mr President, it is good to speak about these energy issues and go into them in some detail, and good too that we should now include everyone in the same framework for safety standards. We must, however, keep a cool head. When legislation is being drafted everything must be based on scientific and technical facts, and not political passions. The International Atomic Energy Agency is an expert organisation whose level of competence is trusted globally, and it is important that its expert opinion is heard in these connections as well. I hope that the Commission will not now create another super-regulator to function alongside the IAEA in the monitoring of these matters, because the IAEA is very important worldwide. It is, however, important that standards of safety attained at Union level are so high that we can also demand the same from the applicant countries.
I should nevertheless like to ask the Commission how it intends to take account of national regulators in preparing this package of directives. Energy issues are decided nationally – and that is the way it should be – and the role of national regulators will also be vitally important in the future."@en1
