COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION to the Member States invited to attend the intergovernmental meeting in Barcelona (Only the French and Italian texts are authentic) (76/51/EEC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 155 thereof,

Whereas the declaration by the Council of the European Communities and the representatives of the Governments of the Member States meeting in the Council of 22 November 1973, on the programme of action of the European Communities on the environment (1), stresses the importance which the Community attaches to the prevention of marine pollution in general and provides, among other things, for Community measures to combat marine pollution from land-based sources;

Whereas the Paris Convention on the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources of 21 February 1974 provides for the drawing-up and implementation of programmes for eliminating or reducing this type of pollution in the north-east Atlantic;

Whereas the Member States which take part in the intergovernmental meeting in Barcelona must ensure that the measures taken for the prevention of marine pollution from land-based sources are as consistent and rational as possible,

RECOMMENDS THAT THESE MEMBER STATES (2):

propose that on the agenda for the next session of the abovementioned intergovernmental meeting should be the preparation of a Protocol for the protection of the Mediterranean against marine pollution from land-based sources, the clauses of which shall be modelled, mutatis mutandis, on those of the Paris Convention of 21 February 1974.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION of 29 May 1979 on the application of inland postal rates to certain mail between Member States (79/570/EEC)

1. The postal services play an important role in economic life and contribute to the promotion of the harmonious development of economic activities in the countries of the Community.

Furthermore, everything connected with postal rates has considerable repercussions on the public at large.

2. With a view, therefore, to making the merger of national economics a more practical reality in terms of postal services, some Member States apply inland postal rates in their relations with one another in the case of letters not exceeding 20 grams and postcards.

3. The extension of this measure to all the Member States does not give rise to serious financial or technical problems. Once the principle is adopted, this measures could enter into force, at national level, when there is an general adjustment in postal rates.

4. It would have a significant political impact from the point of view of increasing public awareness of the process of building Europe and would illustrate one of the Community's tasks, which is to "promote ... closer relations between the States belonging to it."

5. For these reasons, and pursuant to the second indent of Article 155 of the EEC Treaty, the Commission recommends that the Member States apply inland postal rates to intra-Community mail in the case of letters of the first weight step and postcards.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 3 February 1982

on the storage and reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuels

(82/74/Euratom)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 124 thereof,

Having regard to the Council resolution of 18 February 1980 on the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuels (1),

Having regard to the report of July 1981 of the ad hoc Advisory Committee on the Reprocessing of Irradiated Nuclear Fuels, as set up by Council Decision 80/237/Euratom (2),

Whereas reprocessing is increasingly coming to be seen as an essential element in medium and long-term nuclear policies, in that it makes it possible to achieve a reduction in natural uranium and enrichment requirements as a result of the recycling of uranium and plutonium in thermal and fast reactors, with the prospect of reduced dependence on outside supplies of uranium through fast-breeder technology;

Whereas, accordingly, steps should be taken to create the best possible conditions, from the point of view both of promoters and of users, for its industrial development in compliance with public-safety and environmental-protection objectives and the aim of ensuring that nuclear materials are not diverted to applications other than those stipulated by their users,

Hereby recommends that the Governments of the Member States, the competent national authorities and the promoters and users each take the measures necessary to:

- make decisions and implement them without delay so as to ensure that programmes for the construction of the capacity necessary for the interim storage of irradiated fuels are completed by the appropriate time;

- explore all possibilities conducive to the setting-up of reprocessing undertakings capable of bringing together the interests expressed by a number of Member States and of such a kind as to:

- facilitate the creation of an economically viable capacity,

- ensure that partner undertakings have access to reprocessing services on financial terms fixed by common accord,

- comply with International Nuclear Fuel Cycle Evaluation conclusions according to which it is considered desirable that, as far as possible, reprocessing be developed in the context of multinational corporations, thus providing possible additional advantages as regards the application of safeguards,

- encourage the creation of a genuine market in this sector,

- facilitate some degree of work-sharing among the reprocessing plants in such a way, for instance, that small and medium-sized plants possessing sufficient flexibility would be used, as a matter of priority, for reprocessing fuels from experimental and research reactors;

- encourage industrial cooperation within the Community by adopting as open an attitude as possible to the question of technology transfers and exchanges of experience, notably in the field of plant safety.

Done at Brussels, 3 February 1982.
