"Mr President, I voted in favour of this resolution, which more or less reflects the European Union’s common and realistic approach to sustainable development. I am particularly pleased that, in paragraph 46, it was possible to tone down the position on the complete rejection of nuclear energy. Such calls do not reflect the capacities of many Member States, and I am pleased that the European Parliament understands this. We all want a cleaner environment, but if we rejected nuclear energy entirely, it goes without saying that CO
emissions would increase, along with the threat to energy independence. The energy mix is a matter for the Member States themselves; it is just important to ensure high safety standards since we are also talking about nuclear energy in this case. Of course, sources of renewable energy are very important and they must be developed not just for today, but for the future, and it is disappointing that the European Parliament has been rather critical of the development of unusual sources of energy."@en1
