. – The Ostrovets nuclear power plant, located at 50 km from Vilnius (Lithuania) and at close proximity to other EU countries, such as Poland, Latvia and Estonia, has started to generate electricity on 3 November 2020 despite remaining multiple safety concerns and without full implementation of the recommendations by the EU peer review of 2018 and by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). I voted in favour of this motion for resolution as it urges Belarusian authorities to ensure full respect for international nuclear and environmental safety standards, and transparent, inclusive and constructive cooperation with international authorities without further delay.
