Hvis vi tillader, at der fortsat bliver eksporteret tusindvis af t atomaffald fra EU til Rusland, så påtager vi os et stadig større ansvar. Og jeg vil understrege, at vi allerede i dag - eksporten er jo ikke noget nyt fænomen - bærer et ansvar for den beklageligt dårlige tilstand for miljøet og befolkningens sundhed i regionen omkring Majak og Tjeljabinsk.
If we continue to allow thousands of tonnes of nuclear waste from the European Union to be exported to Russia, then we are taking upon ourselves a responsibility even and ever greater than that which – I emphasise, since it is not only now that the export is starting – we already bear for the lamentably poor state of the environment in the region around Mayak and Chelyabinsk and of the health of the people who live there.
