"I support the proposals of the resolution on the UN conference on sustainable development, but I would like to point out that the paragraph referring to the total removal of nuclear energy from Europe’s energy mix goes against the interests of certain Member States, including Romania for one.
I think that nuclear energy is vital, at least in the medium term, with a view to providing end consumers with affordable electricity. This is also a low-carbon technology which can make a significant contribution to achieving the EU’s climate change targets.
Hasty political decisions about energy production, made under pressure from public opinion and in an unsuitable emotional frame of mind, can have serious consequences. They can affect energy supply security, lead to a rise in fossil fuel prices and even jeopardise the EU’s energy independence.
New energy technologies must be developed and the energy market operated for the benefit and not to the detriment of the consumer. We must provide a steady flow of affordable energy. This is why these aspects must be examined properly before any decisions are made, such as the one about the role of nuclear energy in Europe’s energy mix."@en1
