Europeans should not pontificate on nuclear-energy policy as if our opinion mattered worldwide, but we do. On the other hand, Europe does have a qualified responsibility in the area of security, where we still can promote an international regulatory and institutional framework that would discipline states and bring about greater transparency where global risks like nuclear power are concerned.
欧洲人在核能问题上不应该像教皇教条地发表言论，似乎我们欧洲人的言论在全世界范围内都很重要一样，但是我们现在就在这样做。在安全领域，我们仍然可以倡导制定国际惯例，或者制定制度条框以便可以更好规范各国，使得像核能源一样的全球危机问题上带更加透明化。在这些安全领域，欧洲的确有不可推卸的责任。
