March 16 (Bloomberg) -- Investors on edge over the prospect of a Japanese
nuclear meltdown took their cue from a European Union commissioner who
proclaimed a “major disaster” may be on its way, before admitting his
remarks were partly based on media reports.
U.S. stocks tumbled after EU Energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger
testified to a European Parliament committee today in Brussels that the
crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant risks provoking a “major
disaster” in Japan.
“The site is effectively out of control,” Oettinger told the panel. “In
the coming hours, there could be further catastrophic events.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index sank 1.6 percent after his remarks.
Oettinger also said a further deterioration in the situation could lead to
the deaths of people in Japan. “We are somewhere between a disaster and a
major disaster,” he said.
His overall assessment is based on information from the European Commission
in Brussels, the Tokyo-based EU mission to Japan and the International
Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, as well as media reports, Oettinger told
Bloomberg after his appearance in the parliament. “All these experts who
read with better glasses than mine,” Oettinger said.
Oettinger’s spokeswoman, Marlene Holzner, told reporters in a briefing
earlier today in Brussels that the commission’s information about the
situation in Japan “is partly from the media, partly from the government.” | j******h
