"Mr President, I would like to thank the President-in-Office for his response. However, whilst he may be technically correct in saying that the Council does not have an area or role of responsibility with regard to the question of nuclear facilities, there is an immediate need for political leadership. As you have mentioned yourself, this issue has been discussed a number of times within the Council. Indeed, if you look at the Treaties that give the legal basis and authority to the Member States and to the different institutions to take action, the Council can in fact take action under the Euratom Treaty.
What I am seeking is a commitment from you Mr President, as President-in-Office, to bring this before the Council at some stage in the future. We could fill this hemicycle with reports of the accidents, leakages, damage to the environment, damage to human beings and damage to property caused by bad management, faulty construction and bad design of this type of Magnox plants. It is essential to have that commitment now, at a time when the nuclear industry is saying that nuclear power can be good for Kyoto and good for the environment. We could draw up a whole list of the casualties and suffering caused by nuclear discharges, and immediate action should therefore be taken."@en1
