Communication from the Commission pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92

Revision by Ireland of the maximum fare imposed in the context of the public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services between Dublin and Kerry, Dublin and Galway, and Dublin and Sligo

(2000/C 77/06)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The public service obligations in respect of scheduled air services between Dublin and Kerry, Dublin and Galway, and Dublin and Sligo were published in the Official Journal of the Eurpean Communities C 312 of 14 October 1997 pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes. They stipulate that in the event of an abnormal and unforeseeable increase in the cost factors affecting the operation of the routes for which the carrier is not responsible the maximum fare may be increased in proportion to the increase observed. The new maximum fare will then be notified to the carrier operating the services concerned and will not enter into force until it has been notified to the European Commission and published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

In accordance with the abovementioned provisions, Ireland has decided to set a maximum return fare of IEP 97 on each of the three routes in question.

Commission opinion

of 5 October 2000

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the "Centre de la Manche" radioactive waste storage facility located in the region of Lower Normandy (France), in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2000/C 297/06)

(only the French text is authentic)

On 29 March 2000 the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste resulting from the operation of the "Centre de la Manche" radioactive waste storage facility.

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the French Government, and following consultation with the group of experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion.

(a) The distance between the facility and the nearest other State (the Channel Islands) is between 20 and 50 km; the nearest Member States are the United Kingdom (south coast), Belgium and Luxembourg, which are at a distance of 100 km, 350 km and 550 km respectively.

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is significant from the point of view of health.

(c) The solid radioactive waste generated by operation of the facility will be stored at the "Centre de l'Aube" in France.

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, the doses likely to be received by the population in other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste, resulting from the operation of the "Centre de la Manche" radioactive waste storage facility, 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 the radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

Commission opinion

of 20 December 2000

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the commissioning of the liquid metal disposal plant (LMDP) and the waste receipt, assay, characterisation and supercompaction facility (WRACS) located on the Dounreay nuclear site in Scotland (United Kingdom), in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(2001/C 20/03)

(Only the English text is authentic)

On 8 June 2000 the European Commission received from the United Kingdom Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste resulting from the commissioning of the liquid metal disposal plant (LMDP) and the waste receipt, assay, characterisation and supercompaction facility (WRACS).

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the United Kingdom Government, and following consultation with the group of experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

(a) The distance between the plant and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case Denmark (Faeroe Islands), is approximately 370 km;

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents will not cause an exposure of the population in other Member States that is significant from the point of view of health;

(c) Solid low and intermediate level radioactive waste arising from the operations of the LMDP and WRACS will be stored on-site. Off-site movement of waste is not currently envisaged;

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste, which may follow an accident on the scale considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in other Member States would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste, resulting from the commissioning of the liquid metal disposal plant (LMDP) and the waste receipt, assay, characterisation and supercompaction facility (WRACS), 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 the radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.
Amendment made by Italy to the public service obligations for scheduled air services between Cagliari/Olbia/Alghero and Rome/Milan

(2001/C 49/02)

Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992, on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes, and taking into account the deliberations of the Inter-services Conference held in Cagliari on 19 December 2000, the Italian Government has decided to amend the public service obligations for scheduled air services between Cagliari, Olbia and Alghero on the one hand, and Rome and Milan on the other, published on page 16 of the Official Journal of the European Communities C 284 of 7 October 2000. The amendment concerns point 1(3), which deals with fares, and shall henceforth be replaced by the following text:

1.3. FARES

The fare structure for all routes concerned must include an unrestricted full economy class fare and an unrestricted concessionary fare. Neither of these fares shall exceed the following single-ticket prices, including VAT and airport taxes:

>TABLE>

Each year, the competent bodies shall revise these maximum fares in line with the rate of inflation for the previous year, calculated using the ISTAT general index of consumer prices. Revised fares shall be notified to all carriers operating these routes and to the European Commission, so that they may be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Should the Italian lira/US dollar exchange rate and/or the price of oil vary by more than 5 % on average over the preceding six months, the maximum fares shall be altered proportionately.

Any increase or reduction shall apply exclusively to the total price of the full fares in question.

The fares shall be amended, where necessary, every six months by the Ministry of Transport and Navigation, in cooperation with the autonomous region of Sardinia, on the basis of investigations carried out by a joint committee composed of two representatives, one nominated by the ENAC and the other by the autonomous region of Sardinia, who shall consult with the carriers operating the routes in question.

Any adjustments made shall take effect as of the subsequent six-month period.

Revised fares shall be notified to all carriers operating these routes and to the European Commission, so that they may be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

The concessionary fares mentioned above must apply, at the very least, to the following categories of passenger:

- persons domiciled in Sardinia and residing there,

- Sardinian émigrés,

- persons domiciled in Sardinia and residing outside the island,

- the disabled,

- young people between the ages of 2 and 25,

- the over-70s, and

- university students of less than 27 years of age.

All other details of the obligations as specified in the other points of the communication published on page 16 of the Official Journal of the European Communities C 284 of 7 October 2000 remain unchanged.
