".
In the vote on the three reports on nuclear energy, I opted for what I consider to be the most prudent political line for those who, like me, are in favour of this energy source, provided that the highest levels of safety are maintained. This would mean safe installations – not only working installations – and safe spent fuels and radioactive waste – both at the final destination and at every stage en route to the disposal site.
All Member States produce radioactive waste from nuclear processing plants, research reactors and various medical and industrial applications. It is bad enough that these materials are stored in temporary facilities but, worse still, there are no immediate plans to build permanent disposal facilities in any Member State.
In its proposals, the Commission argues that whenever nuclear energy is exploited for commercial purposes, adequate safety levels must be guaranteed and that countries must accordingly be obliged to enforce a series of rules. It is this concept of obligation that sets these proposals apart from the international conventions already in place. I too therefore voted in favour of these proposals."@en1
