lpv:translated text	". The issue of Member States’ energy supply is a fundamental aspect of their security which falls mainly within the competence of national sovereignty. Given the major interactions of energy choices, however, it might be useful to do as the Green Paper does and opt for a longer-term approach and study this issue at European level. This study must, of course, be carried out without any ideological prejudices that might demonise or romanticise any particular source of energy. Otherwise, we will be leaving rational discourse behind. This is the approach adopted by the Chichester report, emphasising, as does the Green Paper, the need for Member States to maintain a balanced combination of energy sources, which gives nuclear energy its rightful place. This is the only way not to make European countries more dependent on external sources. It is also the only way to ensure that the European Union can fulfil its international commitments on limiting CO2 emissions. Research and development in nuclear energy must, therefore, continue in order to build on our scientific and industrial lead in this field, in order to guarantee our countries maximum independence in the field of energy resources, to preserve the environment and to achieve a satisfactory elimination of waste end-products. I am sorry, with regard to this last point, that the Caudron report has not attached sufficient priority to this line of research, which is crucial. Unless we move ahead in this direction, the growth in demand will lead us fatally towards fossil fuels, which are as worthy of criticism in terms of the environment as they are problematic in terms of security of supply."@en1
