To Mrs Isler Béguin’s question on renewable and nuclear energies, I should like to answer first of all that, at the moment, the priority is to encourage an increase in the use of renewable energies. Let this be quite clear.
In no document, or anywhere else, have I shown that I favour the use of nuclear energy. In the Green Paper – which you can get hold of – what emerges quite clearly is the increase in support, incentives and all kinds of backing for the use of renewable energies. A result of this is the discussion on the directive on the use of green electricity – electricity from renewable sources – or our collaboration with the Directorate-General for Competition on the question of the processing of aid to these kinds of sectors.
Secondly, the Green Paper also puts forward the possibility of using some kinds of compensation or crossed subsidies from the usual or traditional energy sources – coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy, or all of them together – to provide support for renewable energies.
Lastly, in any case, in addition to this aid for renewable energies, which I believe is essential and is put forward not just as a statement but as an objective – and remember that for the first time concrete objectives tailored to each individual Member State are being proposed, and this is being done in the green electricity directive – I consider it vital to maintain support for research in the nuclear sector, especially into matters of safety, storage and waste treatment (because burying it is not a solution), or into alternative issues such as the fusion system."@en1
