"One of course has to agree with the joint resolution tabled on behalf of the political groups on the triple tragedies in Japan of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident and join in expressing Europe’s condolences for those who lost their lives in these awful events. However, Japan’s appreciation of our sincerity behind this resolution will, I am sure, be tempered – when it is adopted almost unanimously tomorrow – by the actions of Member States that have either at best overreacted and threatened public panic or at worst used the opportunity to impose protectionist measures. The Spanish Government has urged that goods from Japan should be checked carefully for radiation, the Netherlands has cautioned dock workers to handle all containers from Japan with care, France is demanding a check on all goods before being exported from Japan and German customs is demanding random checks for radiation on all goods, including cars, imported from Japan. Most of these restrictions have been imposed on goods that had been produced and left Japanese ports weeks if not months before the earthquake! So much for solidarity!"@en1
