"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on Sunday 7 November, Sébastien Briard died when he was run over by a train carrying highly radioactive nuclear waste. This tragedy has left all ecologists and anti-nuclear protesters grief-stricken. My thoughts today are with his family and his loved ones, with his friends and with those committed to protecting our planet. He believed in a better world. This terrible accident did not happen by chance. It is the direct consequence of the stifling of democratic debate and of the power of the pro-nuclear lobby, particularly in my country. It also demonstrates that transporting radioactive materials, by rail or by road, is certainly not exempt from accidents, which may lead to major disasters. It was while highlighting this danger that Sébastien died on a Lorraine railway line, on which hundreds of carriages of this kind are transported. Let us honour his memory and his non-violent protest in this House. Let us spare a thought for him."@en1
