lpv:translated text	"We must accept the fact that nuclear power is being generated and will be generated in Europe. We are not comfortable with this in Ireland, but we respect the right of each Member State to choose its own energy sources. As long as there are nuclear power stations in our neighbouring countries, we cannot ignore the issue. There was a security breach in Sellafield last week and Sellafield’s storage facility for nuclear waste – which is called ‘pond B30’ – is one of the biggest problems for the nuclear sector in Europe. There are massive amounts of untreated nuclear waste being stored in pond B30. As such, I fully support the proposal relating to the Community Framework for Nuclear Safety which will ensure that there will be a high level and transparent standard of safety in place for nuclear power stations. I voted for the amendments which were aimed at strengthening this proposal. Although we do not have any nuclear power stations in Ireland, problems with safety in power stations in other European countries could affect the people of Ireland. It is up to the European Union to ensure that the citizens of our countries are fully protected in relation to this issue."@en1
