Whereas the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1707/86 have proved to be effective as common arrangements for safeguarding the health of cunsumers, maintaining trade with third countries, ensuring the unified nature of the market and preventing deflections of trade following the accident at Chernobyl;
Whereas the maximum permitted levels of radioactivity were laid down as a temporary measure and must be re-examined on the basis of scientific information as complete as possible which will enable the Council, on a proposal from the Commission, to adopt all appropriate provisions for the future;
