"Mr President, President of the European Investment Bank, in the EIB’s 2008 report, Parliament insisted that the bank’s external activities comply with the general objectives of the European Union. That is why the project to finance a nuclear power station in Jordan would go against the foundations of Article 3(5) of the Treaty on European Union. I quote, ‘In its relations with the wider world, the Union shall contribute to the sustainable development of the Earth’. In February 2009, the Jordanian authorities contacted the EIB seeking support for their nuclear energy development project, which involves, in particular, the construction of a nuclear power station by 2016. It is therefore with some satisfaction that I have received the assurance of your services that the European Investment Bank did not grant this request and that it considers that its job is to support projects in Jordan aimed at developing wind and solar power, which are energies of the future for our planet because they are renewable. Will this position be pursued for other requests to finance nuclear power stations?"@en1
