The proposed directive establishes a European legal framework for the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste. It sets out specific requirements so as to ensure the Member States have the regulatory and organisational means to enable them to tackle the problem adequately. As this proposal is based on the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), the European Parliament is only being consulted. This is a highly sensitive environmental issue, requiring the utmost attention from political decision-makers, and the reliable and rigorous monitoring of the management of this waste. The terrible events of Fukushima have given the issue an urgency and drama that we should perhaps overcome when debating issues relating to energy resources. The emotional climate that has developed – which is understandable – does not seem to me to give the best guidance on issues of this magnitude. Clearly, this does not mean that we should not pursue a policy of controls on and strict monitoring of anything relating to nuclear power."@en1
