"Madam President, the crisis which is unfolding at the moment in Japan raises concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants worldwide. It is our duty to ask ourselves how resilient and safe the nuclear power plants built on our territory are.
I come from Romania and the citizens of my country are quite rightly concerned about the safety of the Cernavodă nuclear power plant, especially as many question marks have been raised about it recently in the press.
I firmly believe that not only in Romania, but also in a number of Member States, the general public is wondering whether they would be adequately protected in the event of natural disasters which could affect the nuclear power plants.
Last week Germany decided to carry out a detailed inspection of its systems for producing nuclear energy. In light of the events in Japan, it is absolutely imperative to carry out an urgent review of the nuclear safety situation across the entire European Union. All Member States should exercise strict and total control over these power plants.
The European Commission must not only ensure that the Nuclear Safety Directive will be implemented properly, but also monitor closely, along with the competent authorities in the Member States, the state of these power plants.
The tragic situation in Japan highlights to us once again that we need to do our utmost to create rapid response mechanisms for tackling disasters."@en1
