"We are having to express an opinion on a proposal for a directive on nuclear waste based on the Euratom Treaty and our Parliament only has a consultative opinion on this text, which is something I regret. I hope that the Council will take due account of our position. One of the most controversial issues in this debate is whether or not to authorise the export of nuclear waste to countries outside the EU. I clearly supported the option of prohibiting exports to third countries, contrary to initial proposals. I also supported the proposal not to allow exports of waste other than for recycling, on the express condition that they should subsequently be imported back into the EU. This position was supported by a majority and I am glad of this. Furthermore, I would urge that workers involved in the management of radioactive waste, from its production to its disposal, receive adequate protection and training. Unlike the Commission, which considers that deep geological storage is the safest option for highly radioactive waste, I think that we should support and step up research into alternatives to burying waste at depth."@en1
