３・１１以降、ＧＥと組みこの商談を進めた日立は、「世界で最も安全なプランと」という宣伝をして今後のビジネスにつなげたかったのでしょう。だから私たちはどういうことがあっても、日立にリトアニア原発輸出を断念させなければならないのです。日立への積極的な働きをしていきましょう。

LETTER OF DEMAND
Vilnius-Tokyo, 18th December 2012
We, the undersigned members of the civil societies of Lithuania and
Japan strongly demand from Japanese companies Hitachi, Ltd. and
Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy, Ltd. to make public the official withdrawal
from the construction project of a new nuclear power plant in
Visaginas region (Lithuania) on behalf of the decision of the
Lithuanian people expressed in democratic referendum on 14 October
2012.
We inform you that 62.68 per cent of the people who voted in the
referendum decided against any new nuclear power plants in Lithuania.
Thus the Lithuanian people have decided to stop any development of the
nuclear power plant project which was previously started by
preliminary agreement signed between the Government of Lithuania and
the Japanese company Hitachi-GE Nuclear Energy Ltd. (alliance between
Hitachi and US company GE Nuclear Energy Ltd.) on export of nuclear to
Lithuania.
The Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania provides the possibility
for the people to express their opinion on important state decisions.
The parliament of Lithuania in the summer of 2012 decided to hold a
referendum about new Visaginas nuclear power plant project. According
to strict and demanding Lithuanian referendum law, the decision of
referendum is legally binding. This therefore applies to the
referendum on the Visaginas nuclear power plant. The Lithuanian people
have expressed their deep interest in this decision and have made
their choice.
We have warned your company and the Japanese government from signing
any agreement with Lithuania before the referendum, and we have also
expressed our arguments in our letter of concern, signed on December
23, 2011. In that letter we opposed any backing of the project by any
direct or hidden subsidies of the Lithuanian Government, Government of
Japan and the US Government which strongly contradict with principles
of free market economy and fair competition in liberalized EU energy
sector. Such subsidies distort investments into the energy sector,
first of all into renewable energy sources and incentives for energy
efficiency
A large majority of Japanese society strongly opposes any further
development of nuclear energy domestically. Therefore, we call on
Japan to refrain from resorting to ‘double standards’ by giving
support to Hitachi’s intention to export unsafe technologies.
We address the multinational Hitachi, Ltd. and Hitachi-GE Nuclear
Energy, Ltd. corporations with a call to respect corporate
responsibility standards, the Lithuanian Constitution, democratic
values and the will of people, and demand that Hitachi announce
withdrawal from the Visaginas nuclear power plant project.
