lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, you have received both compliments and criticism today. I am going to give you a pat on the back, too, but I am also going to give you a slap on the wrists. I am happy with the European stress tests, which will be applied in exactly the same way throughout the EU. They were badly needed. The only thing that worries me is this false sense of security. We should not be attesting to the safety of nuclear power plants: we have to investigate what exactly the risks are and not give people a false sense of security. We need independent supervision across the EU and we have to have an independent regulator. At present, we have no such regulator. We have now created an additional layer, but can you tell us whether we are eventually going to get an additional independent regulator, whose assessment will be supplemented by a second scientific opinion? I agree with my fellow Members, Belet and Leinen, that this matter should no longer fall under the Euratom Treaty. Our citizens are entitled to maximum security and it is time we removed this aspect from the Euratom Treaty. Are you going to start that debate? There is, then, one matter which has not received enough attention: what are you going to do about the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy Agency in response to the Fukushima disaster? Are you possibly going to adjust the stress test? Can you say what will happen in the event of the stress test potentially having a negative outcome? I am really very disappointed about what has happened to our resolution and I very much regret that we have allowed ourselves to be carried away by our emotions. Safety should always come first, surely?"@en1
