Therefore, let us be clear, it is in a somewhat sensitive area that I have had to prepare this report, with ever increasing controversy about the health risks of these low frequency waves and the inability of the scientific community, also, to reach an agreement.

In conclusion, it is a status quo approach that is being advocated by the World Health Organization and also by the Commission, with the rendez-vous clause for 2015 – virtually another decade – to review whether continual exposure to this cocktail of low frequency waves could cause cancerous tumours.

We have one on safety of cellphones and cellphone towers, another one on electric and magnetic fields at low frequency, and one on radiation safety of microwave ovens and electromagnetic hypersensitivity.

We're not talking about microwave energy; we're talking about extremely low-frequency electric and magnetic fields.

The global network will include 321 stations and 16 laboratories using four different detection technologies: first, seismological monitoring to measure shock waves in the earth's surface; second, hydroacoustic monitoring to measure shock waves in water; third, infrasound monitoring to measure low frequency pressure fluctuations in the atmosphere; and, finally, radionuclide monitoring to measure the presence of certain radioactive fission products in the atmosphere, which will make it possible to determine whether they are the result of a nuclear explosion.

Since 1992, he had been kept in the picture about intensive interception of low-, medium- and high frequencies.
