".
Mr President, Mr Ahern, forgive me, but I announced the intention to present this nuclear safety package to this Parliament before anybody else and I have repeated it on various occasions, and it was therefore nothing new. And I did not present the initiatives to the press before this Parliament. On the contrary, I came here to inform Parliament of the initiatives I had proposed in Brussels.
With regard to the legal basis, I would refer to the press release issued by the Luxembourg Court on 10 December. The Court believes that Euratom has competences in the following areas: the establishment of a legislative and regulatory framework for organising the safety of nuclear installations; measures relating to the assessment and verification of safety; organisation in the event of emergencies; the choice of location of nuclear installations and, finally, the design, construction and operation of nuclear installations.
I therefore believe that nobody is going to argue about the legal basis in the Euratom Treaty for all the proposals I have made to the Council and Parliament, because the Court has said it loud and clear.
Finally, I do not support reprocessing in any way whatsoever. I do not know where the honourable Member has got these ideas from, I do not get into these types of issues. All I propose is that we must provide a framework for greatest possible degree of safety in all the countries of the Union. In all of them, in the ones that are going to join now and in the current ones, and there must be the highest possible level of safety in all of them, making obligatory, amongst other things, what are merely recommendations from the Safety Agency in Vienna."@en1
