lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I wish to speak on the same topic. I must express my indignation at a decision taken by my government – the French Government – which has classified the transport of radioactive waste as top secret. This means that informing communities and elected representatives about the transport of radioactive goods is now forbidden in France. All of us here, however, know how dangerous highly radioactive waste is and we are also aware of the concern felt by our fellow citizens about issues involving radioactive waste originating, in particular, in nuclear power stations. In my opinion, ladies and gentlemen, this decree constitutes an attack on our freedom of expression; it runs counter to the European Parliament Resolution on the transport of radioactive goods, for which we voted in this very Chamber in February 2001. This resolution required elected representatives and local authorities to be informed of the movement of trains containing radioactive waste. We also emphasised in it our right to freedom of expression and to demonstrate peacefully when these trains pass. I would therefore ask you, Mr President, to contact the French Government in order to inform it of the European Parliament’s resolution and so that it can revoke its totally preposterous decree. I personally shall continue to inform any colleague or fellow citizen who asks about the movement of radioactive trains."@en1
