lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I also want to thank the Commissioner for the brilliant work she has done on this matter. I wish to comment on two things. The first concerns waste. Considering how Sweden, with its model project in Oskarhamn, has shown how highly radioactive nuclear waste can be got rid of, I would recommend those who are in doubt to go over there and see how it is done. You take a bus, travel five kilometres into the mountain, and you can see what they are doing. It is public and easily accessible. The method appears to be clearly delineated. It is well accepted, and the sites designated for possible final storage are well accepted in the municipalities, where more than 70% of citizens have agreed to have them. I consider the problem of waste to have been solved in technical terms. If anyone wants to carry on a smear campaign against nuclear waste, they are welcome to do so. We are all entitled to our opinions. I am pleased about the option of being allowed to export nuclear waste. In Denmark, we have 230 kilos from our experimental reactor and elsewhere which, under the current rules, we apparently have to store ourselves at an additional cost of approximately, or more than, EUR 100 million. If we are not permitted to place it with the very many tons that exist in other countries, we shall acquire an additional expense to no purpose. We are therefore pleased about being able to export waste to countries that will accept it, that fulfil the EU’s safety requirements and in which we are certain that inspection and such like guarantees that the waste is being constantly monitored."@en1
