"It was a hard-fought battle that we have just won. Following months of negotiations, we have just breathed new life into the ITER programme, by equipping it with an additional EUR 1.3 billion for 2012 and 2013. I note that we were able to count on the support of the majority of the French socialist MEPs. The Fukushima accident reawakened people’s fears about nuclear energy, particularly in France. Such concerns are only natural. The ITER programme was specifically launched to improve our understanding of, and expertise in, nuclear energy. It strengthens research cooperation through its European partnership. Does anyone need reminding that there is no such thing as zero risk? Safety, however, has always been, and still is, the of the development of nuclear energy. The latter guarantees our independence and our access to cheaper energy. I voted in favour of this text because we have to protect our national and European expertise in the management of this energy source. At this time of crisis and general despondency, it is essential that we preserve our economic assets and ensure that hundreds of thousands of jobs and highly qualified workers remain on our territory."@en1
