"I voted against this increase in the financing of the ITER project. The European budget meets EUR 2.7 billion of the cost of nuclear research under the Euratom sub-programme, and provides EUR 4 billion specifically for the ITER project. With this additional EUR 1.3 billion, the European Union will be devoting EUR 8 billion to nuclear research, compared with the EUR 2.4 billion allocated to other types of energy research, of which only EUR 1.6 billion is spent on renewables. With the issue of nuclear safety being more topical than ever, restoring the balance – even a tiny bit – between research programmes should be made a requirement. The nature of these additional costs should also be questioned. Not only that: at a time when drastic cuts are being imposed on the people, the Union should think about how it can use such huge amounts more appropriately. This stubbornness with regard to nuclear energy is harmful to the public debate that should take place on the issue of energy and the place given to nuclear power. The Union should help to open this debate."@en1
