09/11/2004 (Agence Europe) - The death on Sunday in Avricourt in Meurthe-et-Moselle of a youngster who lost his leg when he was demonstrating against the transport of radio-active waste to the Gorleben stockpile site in Germany, was due to the power of the pro-nuclear lobbies, announced French Green, Maria Anne Isler Béguin in a press release. She insisted, in taking up a demand by European Greens that, "there is, however, no definitive solution today for nuclear waste, certain elements of it remain highly radio-active for thousands of years…We are calling on Europe to assume its responsibilities and abolish the anti-democratic Euratom treaty. The Greens/EFA at the European Parliament are demanding that an inter-governmental conference is immediately convened in view of introducing deep-seated reforms". Like her German colleague Rebecca Harms, she provided assurances that the Greens would continue to support all collective, non-violent action "against this dangerous technology that requires the senseless transporting of waste".
