lpv:spoken text	". I support this report and agree entirely with its condemnation of the limitations on liability for nuclear accidents which create a privileged position for nuclear energy as against other energy sources. Ireland is not a party to the Paris Convention to which this report relates. However everyone in Ireland is acutely aware of their vulnerability should there ever be a major incident at the nearby Sellafield plant, or should there ever be an incident involving the shipments of dangerous waste materials which are brought to that plant through Irish territorial waters. In fact the single greatest threat to the Irish environment comes from Sellafield so it is absolutely outrageous that the European Union has so far failed to apply the 'polluter pays' principle to nuclear accidents. It is high time the European Union adopted a more comprehensive stance in relation to the dangers of the nuclear industry. We certainly cannot afford to have any gaps in the application of international conventions and Community legislation to the area of liability for nuclear damage."@en1
