"Mr President, President of the Commission, following the serious accident at the Fukushima plant, the European Commission’s reaction so far has been characterised, with the exception of the odd unfortunate slip, by the required seriousness, prudence and thoroughness.
However, this painful event has led to a climate of heightened emotion, hostile to this energy source. In order to reduce possible negative consequences at the ballot box, certain governments have suddenly changed position and decided to cancel their plans to build new plants or to prolong the useful life of existing ones.
Mr Barroso, given that nuclear energy represents 14% of our energy consumption, given the constant and predictable increase in demand for electricity and given our goal of an 85% cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, many of us, myself included, would ask you, in this potentially short-lived situation, whether the Commission is planning any legislative or political action to prevent this climate from putting our energy strategy at risk in the long term."@en1
