".
All Member States and candidate countries produce radioactive waste, the most radiologically toxic forms of which are currently held in temporary storage facilities. No Member State has access to permanent storage, and nor does any Member State have plans to build any such facility in the near future. It is therefore a matter of the utmost urgency that we provide workable solutions. The rapporteur was right to favour a two-stage approach, which would be more feasible and more effective than a single timetable. Firstly, each Member State should, by 31 December 2006, set its own deadlines to prepare and submit to the Commission a detailed programme for the long-term management of all types of radioactive waste under its jurisdiction in line with international standards. Once the programme has been submitted, each Member State must set its own deadlines to put the programme into practice, choose a site, build the disposal facility and begin operations. Working in this way will make it possible to achieve the stated aim, ensuring the flexibility needed to address the various situations in the EU in this regard.
This solution, in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity, is an important step towards responding to European citizens’ concerns for regulation in this sensitive field. By setting deadlines, timetables and targets, it also creates an effective framework of liability.
I therefore voted in favour."@en1
