lpv:translated text	". I agreed with this motion for a resolution. Japan has been struck by a natural disaster on a massive scale which also caused a major nuclear accident, the true scale of which has so far been impossible to assess and which will have consequences for people’s health and the environment for decades to come. The European Union immediately activated its Civil Protection Mechanism to coordinate its humanitarian, technical and financial aid. This disaster should be seen as a starting point for thoroughly assessing and reconsidering issues surrounding the safety of nuclear energy. With nuclear energy there is not only the issue of the operation of power plants themselves, there is also the question of the storage of waste nuclear fuel that will last for centuries. During the earthquake in Japan, underground facilities for storing waste nuclear fuel were damaged, which would lead us to believe that the hitherto prevalent view that burial is the safest means of neutralising waste is not at all proven, and that waste storage facilities may become a great danger to people’s health and the environment. I believe that it is essential to begin active discussions within the EU and at international level to make it possible to ensure the highest standard of waste storage in nuclear power plants already in operation and to seriously consider the benefits of the planned nuclear power plants and assess possible dangers."@en1
