The problem of the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste is tackled in the report by Mrs Jordan Cizeli that we have just voted on. Following the Fukushima disaster, the resulting security issues have made this issue unexpectedly acute. In fact, the European Parliament has been calling for the adoption of a new directive in this area for some time already. Radioactive waste is worthy of increased attention because of the safety, not just of the workers handling it, but also of the general public. Furthermore, we cannot forget the environmental consequences of this waste, which is harmful to biodiversity. I therefore voted for this proposal, which aims to implement the polluter-pays principle – respect for which has been very gradual – and introduces measures restricting the shipping of these goods to third countries. In truth, it is essential that we increase our awareness of the fact that we cannot leave these problems for future generations. I welcome the introduction of a financial mechanism to help manage this waste, so as to stop it being dangerous, and the adoption of regulators that are more demanding and prevent the violation of this directive."@en1
