". I voted in favour of this report, because responsible management and storage of waste that is harmful to the environment and humans is undoubtedly important. Particularly now, following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, we are considering how to ensure that nuclear power plants are as safe as possible, and even discussing whether we should reject this type of electricity production altogether in Europe. With this report the European Parliament basically approved the Commission proposal for a directive, which sets out an EU legal framework for spent fuel and radioactive waste management. The legal framework proposed by the Commission is aimed at obliging Member States to draw up national programmes for spent fuel and radioactive waste management. The European Parliament report proposes the following improvements to the text of the future directive: strengthening of the so-called reversibility principle, according to which access would even be created to waste buried by means of deep geological disposal, should a means of processing such waste be discovered at some stage in the future, for example. The report also proposes providing for more stringent financial obligations for Member States, requiring them to earmark funding for possible waste management, as well as the financing of reserves, and it also proposes a framework for controlling regional waste management projects."@en1
