"Japan is overwhelmed today. One nuclear accident after another is coming on top of a natural disaster. This crisis is the most serious crisis that Japan has experienced since the Second World War. The victims number tens of thousands, and the material damage is considerable and still difficult to quantify. The European Union must deliver a response equal to the seriousness of the crisis. Japan has urgent need of aid. We urge the Commission to drive and coordinate the European solidarity effort. Europe’s action must be clear, rapid and efficient in the short and long term. As regards the Fukushima power station, European unease is legitimate. The European executive must respond to this by asking for a series of crash tests to be carried out in an independent and transparent way on all of Europe’s nuclear infrastructure. Finally, we cannot pass by without a collective reflection on our energy policy. On energy saving, renewable energy sources, the energy efficiency criterion, we expect ambitious and conclusive decisions from Europe, as we do on European research, often well below 3% of GDP."@en1
