"The future of the planet’s energy supply does not lie in nuclear energy. The future lies in a mix of energy supplies. Nonetheless, we are still going to have to manage this technology for at least several decades (manage the dismantling of power stations, and also radioactive waste and spent fuel). We need to understand that this waste has a life that lasts for decades. Today it is vital to set up a framework for Member States and strengthen supervision of the ways in which the Member States choose to store waste. I therefore voted for the directive on managing this waste. Even though the text could be improved further and there is an important point that remains, in my view, unresolved, namely the definition of radioactive waste, I believe that we should continue to forge ahead in this area and that it is pointless to deny the need to treat waste. I also voted in favour because the possibility of exporting to third countries was rejected. This was a crucial point indeed. It would be totally unacceptable if we were to allow the export of our most dangerous waste to countries outside the EU, where we cannot be certain of the level of safety with regard to the treatment and storage of the waste in the long term."@en1
