I voted for the motion for a resolution on Japan as I think that it is our duty to show our solidarity with a people which has been hit with a triple misfortune and lost many of its citizens. Unfortunately, the outcome of this tragedy is still unknown. On the other hand, the disaster in Japan, especially the incident at Fukushima and the emergency situation following it, has brought back to the agenda the issue about the need for nuclear energy and its consequences. At the same time, I strongly believe that we should not overdramatise what has happened and abandon nuclear energy in the heat of the emotion. In my view, Europe needs nuclear energy, and a pragmatic approach must be adopted to the issue rather than us rashly deciding to shut down power stations."@en1
