lpv:translated text	"We must make every effort to ensure that we make the safest decisions in the area of spent fuel and radioactive waste management. The accident at Fukushima nuclear power plant has shown that the disposal of radioactive waste remains a complicated and risky process that can have particularly painful negative consequences. Therefore, nuclear safety assessments, research and checks must be continuous. We must continuously exchange good practice in this area throughout the EU. We must not allow people’s health or the environment to be endangered. It is crucial for Member States to establish a national regulatory and organisational framework and draw up national programmes for spent fuel and radioactive waste management, from their generation to their disposal. Given the principles of safety and economy, I believe that Member States can share spent fuel and radioactive waste management facilities, but such use must be based on an agreement between both parties. The Member States will thus be able to take advantage of the favourable geological and technical advantages of a specific territory and share the financial burden of the project. It should be noted that spent nuclear fuel storage basins pose an enormous risk and hazards, and therefore all unused fuel should be transferred to dry cask storage as soon as possible."@en1
