COUNCIL CONCLUSIONS of 27 June 1997 on further discussion of worker involvement in the European Company (report by the Working Party of Experts on European Systems of Worker Involvement) (97/C 227/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

1. NOTES the information provided by the Commission on the findings of the Working Party of Experts on European Systems of Worker Involvement;

2. CONSIDERS that the approach proposed constitutes a constructive contribution for reviving discussion of worker involvement in the European Company;

3. CONSIDERS that the graduated approach is one possible way of facilitating a solution to the complex problem of identifying forms of constitution of the European Company; this is particularly the case, in view of the important role played by the social partners, with regard to the promotion of free negotiation between the parties, accompanied, if it is to be effective, by a reference framework for worker involvement in the European Company if negotiation fails;

4. CONSIDERS that, in the light of the findings of the Working Party of Experts, a full debate needs to be held in Council on the problem in general and on the arrangements for worker involvement in the European Company, taking into account the diversity of national systems, the role of the social partners and the contributions made so far, in particular in response to the Commission communication of 14 November 1995 on worker information and consultation.
COMMISSION OPINION of 10 September 1997 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste, from the operation of the Sellafield Solvent Treatment Plant of British Nuclear Fuels plc, Sellafield, Cumbria, United Kingdom, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty (97/C 291/05)

On 12 March 1997, 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 operation of the Solvent Treatment Plant, at the Sellafield site of British Nuclear Fuels plc, Cumbria.

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided on behalf of the United Kingdom Government, and following consultation with the group of experts, whose report is attached, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion.

(a) The distance between the plant and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State, in this case Ireland, is 180 kilometres.

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

(c) Low-level solid radioactive waste is to be disposed of to the authorized Drigg site operated by British Nuclear Fuels plc.

(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 health point of view.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive wastes arising from the operation of the Solvent Treatment Plant, at the Sellafield site of British Nuclear Fuels plc, Cumbria, 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.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

of 27 May 1999

on combating international crime with fuller cover of the routes used

(1999/C 162/01)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

CONCERNED at cross-border crime, which is often linked to certain overland, waterway or air routes,

CONFIRMING its determination to make the European Union an area of freedom, security and justice,

ENDEAVOURING further to improve practical cooperation between police services in the Member States,

TAKING INTO ACCOUNT Joint Action 97/12/JHA of 20 December 1996 providing a common prgramme for the exchange and training of, and cooperation between, law-enforcement authorities "Oisin"(1) -

HAS ADOPTED THIS RESOLUTION:

1. Coordinated route-policing projects may be carried out on recognised routes, where appropriate with the support of Europol, by the Member States in line with national legal provisions and jurisdiction and with due respect for national sovereignty, deploying forces, methods and equipment appropriate to the situation, in order to combat a specific form of crime on the basis of a coordinated policy. The customs and other competent authorities will be involved in appropriate cases.

2. Route-policing projects may extend to the whole territory of the Union or to certain regions.

3. The purpose of such deployment on specific routes will be to ensure that the police achieve optimum results in the prevention and detection of offences, to improve coordination of joint police action and communication and to obtain additional intelligence on cirminal behaviour and methods of committing crimes.

4. Member States aparticipating in the route-policing project may, with the support of Europol, undertake a joint evaluation and will, in the case of regional measures, also inform the other Member States of the results. In this process their principal endeavour will be to develop measures designed further to improve route strategies. In so doing, they will in particular evaluate what new forms of prevention and detection of cross-border crime may be developed, taking account of freedom of movement within the European Union.

5. The provision of personal data will be governed by national law and by international conventions; Articles 126 to 128 of the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement will apply as appropriate.

COMMISSION OPINION

of 10 November 1999

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the decommissioning of the Kahl Experimental Nuclear Power Station located in Bavaria in the Federal Republic of Germany in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(1999/C 339/03)

(Only the German text is authentic)

On 5 May 1999, the European Commission received from the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the decommissioning of the Kahl Experimental Nuclear Power Station located in Bavaria.

On the basis of these data and clarifications subsequently provided by the German 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 closest Member State border (with France) is 140 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 significant from the point of view of health.

(c) Solid radioactive waste arising from the dismantling operations will be stored or disposed of in licensed sites in Germany; non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials and materials which are released from regulatory control subject to compliance with clearance levels will be released for disposal as conventional waste or for reuse or recycling, in all cases complying with the criteria laid down in the Basic Safety Standards (Directive 96/29/Euratom).

(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 liable 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 from the decommissioning of the Kahl Experimental Nuclear Power Station, 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.
