"I welcome the vote on this report. The strengthening of nuclear safety and security regulations was essential for several reasons. Of course one reason is the serious nuclear accident in Japan. However, I also welcome it because at the present time, what is referred to as ‘high-level and long-life’ radioactive waste is still stored in a provisional manner. Spent fuel is generally stored securely near to the reactors, but it has to be recognised that, for permanent storage, levels of security should be much higher. It is therefore our responsibility to demand maximum safety. That is why I also voted for the amendment banning the installation of nuclear waste management facilities in seismic or coastal areas where there are significant risks of rises in sea levels and tsunamis. Furthermore, I believe in the principle that the polluter pays, and I also voted in favour of the amendment calling for an assessment of the costs, monitoring, the sending of regular reports to the European Commission and the participation of national governments."@en1
