"Madam President, first of all I would like to thank my colleagues for raising this question. European policy needs to represent an innovation direction that is capable of ensuring a long-term, sustainable energy supply for the European Union. The Russian gas crisis, the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe and the depletion of fossil fuels are forcing us to find an answer to the question of energy for the future as soon as possible. The ‘Intelligent Energy – Europe’ programme formulated by the Commission definitely represents such a direction. Its main objective is to ensure clean, secure and sustainable energy for future generations. It supports energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
We are not only able to help small and medium-sized enterprises with this programme, we can encourage innovative solutions, create jobs and support the issue of education and research as well. In spite of all this, unfortunately, the programme did not receive a specific position in the upcoming support system. This is why I would like to ask the Commission to do everything in its power to allow this programme to continue operating. I believe that even in spite of the concerns caused by Fukushima, we can still list atomic energy as a form of intelligent energy. It has been proved that atomic energy is capable of producing unlimited, clean and safe energy that does not involve the production of carbon dioxide. The fusion reactor built as a result of the ITER project can become just such an energy source in the future. Therefore, nuclear energy should be given a stable position in the ‘Intelligent Energy’ programme."@en1
