[en] Let me start by saying that in Europe we have at the moment 14 member states that use nuclear energy and 14 that don’t. But if I take the lead, from the two previous speakers, we also published a 2050 scenario last November that puts nuclear energy at 15% on average in 2050 as a source of energy in the EU, accompanied by a massive deployment (80–85%) of renewables technology. In such a scenario, the safe and responsible management of radioactive waste is a fundamental element to keep nuclear energy in the energy mix. At the European Commission, we have been consistently working on that for the past ten years, and we have developed a regional safety legal framework that is taken as a reference in the world with spent fuel and radioactive waste management being a key element of this. The directive is still young, it was born in 2011 and implemented in steps in 2013 by becoming national law in the EU Member States and in 2015 by having Member States national programmes to describe how they’re going to put in place their policies for the management of spent fuel and radioactive waste. It is particularly important that roles are clear and that political priorities are transformed into actual projects and actions. The directive is based on a key principle, which is that you cannot transfer burdens the following generations. Therefore, while it’s true that we can safely manage spent fuel and we can temporarily storage it already today. But this is no excuse in order to sit back and wait for something else to happens. One of the key elements of the reporting that was made, and the Radioactive Waste Directive, is the notion of inventories, namely how much radioactive wastes and spent fuel do we have in the EU. So, we have something like 50 000 tonnes of spent fuel generated in the past and Member States estimate that this will rise to 80 000 tonnes by 2030. And if you look at this graph, it shows you that the situation is quite diverse. For low and intermediate waste disposal we have a situation that advances and progresses consistently. Whereas for high level waste and spent fuel, very little is happening. This is the situation that we have to face nowaday.
