"For two weeks now, one of the most serious nuclear accidents in history has been played out in Japan. It is still too early to gauge the full extent of the disaster, but it is evident that, apart from Chernobyl, no place on Earth has yet been stricken by civil nuclear technology. The situation at Fukushima arouses dread and compassion in all of us, and asks questions of our own system for producing nuclear energy. For all that, I find it particularly scandalous that legitimate concerns aroused by this period of crisis should be exploited for partisan ends. It is not a question of banning the debate on nuclear power. As with any issue, and particularly for those of such strategic importance, democratic debate must enable wise solutions to be adopted. Since I do not believe that emotion is a good counsellor, I supported the emergency resolution of the European Parliament. It sends a message of firm support to our Japanese friends without permitting the intrusion of domestic concerns that would not respect the period of decency that is both necessary and indispensable."@en1
