"I would like to congratulate the draftsman and stress that the directive being debated is important for each country in the European Union, especially those operating nuclear power stations. The Commission's proposals to cooperate in the transportation and burial of nuclear waste or spent nuclear fuel reflect the spirit of EU solidarity and look to the future. On the other hand, there is no doubt that radioactive waste transportation inspections and the advance authorisation system must become stricter.
Having shut down Ignalina nuclear power station's first reactor and with plans to shut down the second in three years’ time, Lithuania faces a storage problem with spent nuclear fuel. At the moment, waste is being buried temporarily in special areas. If it is decided that a new modern nuclear power station should be built at Ignalina with the help of neighbouring countries, the directive being debated would become even more relevant for the entire region.
I would also like to stress the need to encourage scientific research into the neutralisation of nuclear waste. This could also be a priority for the EU’s 7th framework programme for research."@en1
