COMMISSION OPINION

of 3 August 2005

concerning the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2005/C 195/02)

(Only the French text is authentic)

On 13 December 2004, the European Commission received from the Government of France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site.

On the basis of the General Data and the additional information requested by the Commission on 3 March 2005 and provided by the French authorities on 5 April 2005, and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

| 1. | The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this case Italy, is approximately 175 km. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this case Italy, is approximately 175 km.

| 2. | Among the modifications to the TU5 facility described in the General Data, it is noted that since 2002 the facility converts uranyl nitrate from the COGEMA Marcoule site causing discharges of 3H and 14C in the gaseous and liquid effluents. |

2.

Among the modifications to the TU5 facility described in the General Data, it is noted that since 2002 the facility converts uranyl nitrate from the COGEMA Marcoule site causing discharges of 3H and 14C in the gaseous and liquid effluents.

| 3. | During normal operation, the gaseous and liquid effluents released from the modified TU5 installation including 3H and 14C will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is significant from the point of view of health. |
| --- | --- |

3.

During normal operation, the gaseous and liquid effluents released from the modified TU5 installation including 3H and 14C will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is significant from the point of view of health.

| 4. | In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the modification will not give rise to any significant effect from the point of view of health on the population of another Member State. |
| --- | --- |

4.

In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents resulting from an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the modification will not give rise to any significant effect from the point of view of health on the population of another Member State.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the modified plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form at the TU5 Facility on the COGEMA Pierrelatte site in France, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

Commission Notice concerning parties exempted, pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 on the authorisation of the exemption on imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93, and maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000: changes in the company name and registered seat of exempted companies

(2005/C 195/06)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (1) of 20 January 1997 (the ‘exemption Regulation’) authorises the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty on imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China. This duty resulted from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (2) of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3) and maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 1524/2000 (4).

In this framework, and by successive Commission Decisions, a certain number of bicycle producers have been exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty: inter alia, F.lli Masciaghi SpA, Italy (Taric additional code 8067) (5), Field SA, Greece (Taric additional code 8034) (6), Bottecchia Cicli Srl, Italy (Taric additional code A087) (7), Fabbrica Biciclette Trubbiani e C. SNC, Italy (Taric additional code A232) (8), and, Family Bike Srl, Italy (Taric additional code A254) (9).

Furthermore, by Commission Notice of 22 April 2004 (10), references to Bottecchia Cicli Srl, Via dell'Industria 7, I-35028 Piove di Sacco (PD), were changed into Bottecchia Cicli Srl, Via Matteotti 26, I-35020 Arzergrande (PD).

F.lli Masciaghi SpA, Italy, has informed the Commission that the legal address of the company has changed from Via Santa Maria in Campo, 1, I-20040 Cavenago Brianza (MI), to Via Gramsci, 10, I-20052 Monza (MI).

Field SA has informed the Commission that the legal form and address of the company that carries out the assembly operation and consequently requires the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty have changed from Field SA, 32 Olympou Street, EL-57 009 Kalochori, Thessaloniki, to Field ABEE, Industrial Area of Thessaloniki, A5 Road, EL-57 022 Sindos.

Bottecchia Cicli Srl has informed the Commission that the legal address of the company has changed from Via Matteotti 26, I-35020 Arzergrande (PD) to Viale Enzo Ferrari, 15/17, I-30014 Cavarzere (VE).

Fabbrica Biciclette Trubbiani e C. SNC, Santa Maria in Selva Via Arno, 1, I-62010 Treia (MC), has informed the Commission that the legal denomination of the company that carries out the assembly operation and consequently requires the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty is now Fabbrica Biciclette Trubbiani Srl with the same legal address.

Family Bike Srl has informed the Commission that the legal name and address of the company that carries out the assembly operation and consequently requires the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty have changed from Family Bike Srl, Via Serenissima 6, I-36041 Montecchio Maggiore (VI) to Veneta Tecnologie Srl, Via Serenissima 4, I-36075 Montecchio Maggiore (VI).

The Commission, after having examined the information supplied, has established that the changes in the companies' names and legal addresses do not affect the assembly operations with regards to the stipulations of the exemption Regulation and therefore the Commission does not consider that these changes should affect the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.

Hence references to F.lli Masciaghi SpA in Commission Decision 97/447/EC, to Field SA in Commission Decision 98/115/EC, to Bottecchia Cicli Srl in Commission Decision 2001/108/EC, to Fabbrica Biciclette Trubbiani e C. SNC in Commission Decision 2002/606/EC, and to Family Bike Srl in Commission Decision 2002/606/EC should be read as reported in the following Annex.
