【英国《国际核工程》2004年12月报道】欧洲议会已经通过了包括主席JoseBarroso在内共25名委员组成的新欧洲委员会。在这25名委员中,来自拉脱维亚的AndrisPiebalgs代替最初的候选人LazloKovacs出任能源委员。Piebalgs在回答为评估其能力而进行的一份调查问卷时表示,他计划在限制需求增长并提高能源供应多样化的基础上制定一份政策框架。他认为核电是欧洲能源结构不可或缺的组成部分,尤其因为它具有低碳排放的特性。 [International Nuclear Project, UK, December 2004] The European Parliament has approved a new European commission of 25 members, including Chairman Jose Barroso. Among the 25 members, AndrisPiebalgs from Latvia replaced the original candidate LazloKovacs as energy commissioner. Piebalgs, in response to a questionnaire to assess its ability, said he planned to develop a policy framework based on limiting demand growth and diversifying energy supplies. He believes that nuclear power is an integral part of Europe’s energy mix, especially because of its low-carbon emissions.
