"I voted in favour of Mr Marinescu’s report, which draws attention to a problem that is currently highly topical. In light of what took place in Japan, questions arise now as to the safety of existing and functioning nuclear power stations in Europe.
The commitment taken on by Lithuania, Bulgaria and Slovakia during EU accession negotiations to dismantle old nuclear reactors that proved impossible to adapt to meet the required minimum safety standards, must be a sustained and coherent commitment, in respect of which the European Union has for some time now established and provided packages of support and finance. I hope that the dismantling works take place promptly and in a way that guarantees the maximum safety of citizens and the environment. I also hope that they are able to catch up on accrued delays and finish work by the end of the agreed time period.
Finally I would like to stress, moving above and beyond specific cases, the need to monitor what checks are taking place on other reactors in Europe, making the institutions responsible for ensuring the safety not only of existing plants but also of new ones should more have to be built in the future."@en1
