lpv:translated text	". I abstained from the vote on the Cizelj report concerning a Commission proposal laying down rules for the management of radioactive waste. Why did I do that? I did not vote against the report as, this way, the Commissioner for Energy, Mr Oettinger, has a chance to stand by his original proposal and ban the exporting of radioactive materials to third countries. This is contrary to the wishes of a number of Member States, who would love to see the existing ban on such exports lifted. Well aware, as I am, that the level of such management or environmental awareness, let alone a strict culture of safety in relation to nuclear matters, is not or is barely present in many developing countries, it seems to me that allowing such exports is completely irresponsible. Moreover, Europe must manage its own nuclear waste itself if the EU wants nuclear power so badly. What some Member States are angling for borders on the criminal at government level in Europe. It is regrettable that exporting spent nuclear fuel to Russia and Ukraine for processing is not prohibited. The Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance is nonetheless very pleased that a majority in this House rejected further exports and endorsed an amendment by our group that prohibits the storage of radioactive waste in seismologically active areas. On the other hand, I could not vote in favour of this report because the rules proposed are far too weak."@en1
