In August 2001, Jean was in Japan in order to take part in the World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. The annual conference took place in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and coincided with the anniversaries of the disastrous bombs. This year's theme was "Nuclear weapons states must make good on their promise to abolish nuclear weapons: International cooperation and solidarity will ensure the future of the world".

Jean was involved with Spanish members of the Green/EFA Group and others in the controversy over whether the British government should be allowed to repair its nuclear submarine the 'Tireless' in the Bay of Gibraltar.
This involved a visit to the base in Gibraltar and a number of media interviews as well as a debate in the Parliament itself.

Jean has frequently raised the question as to whether the EU has adequate mechanisms in place to deal with the flow of information from, and consequences of, having nuclear weapons available to member states under the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Our current regulations only deal with civil risk.
Jean spoke at a conference organised by Yorkshire CND, in Sheffield, on missile defence, militarization of space and the broader economic and military strategies of the West from a European perspective. Jean looked at moves within Europe to dominate militarily and economically, at the expense of the environment, peace and the poor.
