COMMISSION OPINION

of 23 May 1989

concerning the Golfech, units 1 and 2 (France) nuclear power station

(Only the French text is authentic)

(89/354/Euratom)

The general data concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from Golfech nuclear power station (units 1 and 2) were provided by the French Government to the Commission, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, by letter received on 23 November 1988.

On the occasion of the meeting of the group of experts set up pursuant to the Treaty, which took place on 7 March 1989, in Luxembourg, the representatives of the French Government provided further complementary information and details.

On the basis of the data thus obtained and having consulted the group of experts, the Commission drew up the following opinion:

1. the distance from the power station of Golfech to the closest point on the territory of another Member State, Spain, is approximately 150 kilometres; Italy is some 500 kilometres distant;

2. in normal operation the liquid and gaseous effluent discharges of the station are not liable to give rise to significant exposure, from the health point of view, of the population of other Member States;

3. solid radiaoctive wastes are to be stored only temporarily on the power station site prior to transport to a storage facility under state supervision.

Similarly, irradiated fuel elements are to be stored at the plant site prior to transfer to a reprocessing plant. Their transfer outside French territory is not foreseen;

4. in the case of an unplanned release of radioactive effluents which could be occasioned by an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, doses liable to be received in other Member States will not be significant from the health point of view.

France has signed bilateral agreements with Spain, Luxembourg, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, concerning the exchange of information in case of nuclear incidents or accidents; similar agreements are being worked out with Italy and Belgium. These agreements also allow for hypothetical accidents having radiological consequences more important than those presented in the general data to be taken into account. The Commission recommends that the agreements with Italy and Belgium be concluded as soon as possible.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from Golfech nuclear power station is not liable, either in normal operation or in the case of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data, to result in the radioactive contamination, significant from the point of view of health, of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

This opinion is addressed to the French Republic.

(2002/C 249/15)

(only the English text is authentic)

On 2 May 2002, the European Commission received from the Government of the United Kingdom, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, general data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the dismantling of the Hunterston A power station.

On the basis of these data, 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 Ireland, is approximately 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 intermediate level radioactive wastes are stored at the site. Low-level radioactive wastes are stored at the site before being transported off-site for disposal in facilities within the UK. Non-radioactive solid waste or residual materials which are released from regulatory control 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 (Council Directive 96/29/Euratom).

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste, which may follow an accident of 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 in whatever form arising from the dismantling of the Hunterston A power station in the United Kingdom, 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.

There are risks that the budgetary outcome could be worse than projected in the programme aiming at reducing the deficit to below 3 % of GDP by 2007. The risk of a delayed or incomplete implementation of the envisaged measures of the Hausner plan, described in the assessment of the May 2004 programme, is already materialising. There is still uncertainty over the implementation of the remaining measures that require legislative procedures but contained already in the budget for 2005. Despite the rejection by Parliament of two important measures, the deficit targets remained unchanged. Almost half of measures aiming at additional revenue and expenditure savings described in the update are not clearly specified. Contingent liabilities constitute an additional risk which will be monitored accordingly in this context. The achievement of the deficit targets is also conditional on projected high GDP growth throughout the programme period. In addition, the funded pension scheme continues to be recorded inside the general government sector as allowed by the transition period granted by Eurostat. Starting with the March 2007 notification and the ensuing change in classification, the deficit level will have to be adjusted upwards by about 1.5 percentage points. This adjustment means that based on the update and in the absence of additional savings measures, Poland will not be able to bring the deficit below 3 % in the end year of the programme.
