Amendment 169 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
14. Notes, with concern, that Africa hosts an increasing number of fossil fuel projects, which risks preventing it from making a timely leap to renewable energy; recalls that a major portion of current oil, gas and coal production in Africa is destined for export, while the continent continues to be plagued by energy poverty; considers that since nuclear energy also contributes, as a clean technology, to the successful decarbonisation of the energy system, the role of nuclear energy and other advanced technologies, such as small modular reactors, should be strengthened by establishing an enabling policy and regulatory framework, starting with the harmonisation of authorisation rules;
