The recent unprecedented natural disaster in Japan has left the international community deeply saddened, and has moved the European institutions not only to an expression of solidarity, but also offers of technical and humanitarian aid. The problems that have occurred at the Fukushima nuclear plant have put the discussion of energy issues at the top of the agenda once again.
Indeed, 30% of the energy consumed by the EU is of nuclear origin; there are countries where domestic production is at 80%, such as France, and countries without any nuclear plants, such as Portugal and Austria. Parliament has discussed this issue on several occasions and has concluded that there is a need, despite environmental issues, for the EU and its Member States to encourage and support the generation of so-called ‘green energy’.
I therefore wholeheartedly support this resolution, which seeks, firstly, to develop a plan for verifying the security of all European nuclear power plants, and, on the other, to significantly increase energy production from renewable sources so that it becomes the main source of energy in the EU. We should also stress the need for energy efficiency and the fulfilment of the EU 2020 objectives."@en1
