"Madam President, Commissioner, you are not being attacked personally in this matter, Commissioner, but you must understand that we are extremely disappointed that the Commission has given in so easily to pressure from some Member States, and France in particular. So we do indeed want to phase out nuclear power because we believe that this is the only way to eliminate the nuclear risk. In a country such as France, however, we also know that we will need 20 to 25 years to phase out nuclear power, and the latest studies giving the statistics on serious nuclear accidents predict that there will be an accident somewhere in the world within the next fifteen years. We want to have real tests, and we cannot accept the fact that France has been successful in allowing the risky option to go forward. The tests do not predict airplane crashes, either over fuel ponds or over reactors. Neither do they predict terrorist attacks. We refuse to accept the fact that the tests applied at European level have become a communications exercise by a crisis unit for the nuclear industry, which Mr Sarkozy will showcase at the next G8 in order to sell even more European pressurised water reactors (PWRs). That is what we cannot accept, Commissioner."@en1
