Proposal for a Council Directive amending Directive 80/836/Euratom laying down the basic 
safety standards for the health protection of the general public and workers against the dangers 
of ionizing radiation as regards prior authorization of shipment of radioactive waste 
COM(90) 328 final 
(Submitted by the Commission on 25 July 1990) 
(90/C 210/07) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Articles 31 
and 32 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
drawn up after obtaining the opinion of a group of 
persons appointed by the Scientific and Technical 
Committee from among scientific experts in the Member 
States, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas on 2 February 1959 the Council adopted 
Directives laying down the basic standards for the 
protection of the health of workers and the general 
public against the dangers arising from ionizing radi­
ations (2) as amended by Directive 80/836/Euratom (2) 
and by Directive 84/467/Euratom (3); 
Whereas, pursant to Article 2 of Directive 
80/836/Euratom these basic safety standards apply to 
the transport of radioactive substances; 
Whereas, pursant to Directive 80/836/Euratom Member 
States are requestd to make compulsory the reporting of 
activities which involve a hazard arising from ionizing 
radiation; whereas, in the light of possible dangers and 
other relevant considerations these activities are subject 
to prior authorization in cases decided upon by each 
Member State; 
Whereas the protection of the health of workers and the 
general public requires that shipment of radioactive 
waste be added to the activities set out in Article 5 of 
Directive 80/836/Euratom for which a system of prior 
authorization must be provided;

Whereas the European Parliament resolution of 6 July 
1988 on the findings of the Committee of Inquiry on the 
handling and transport of nuclear material (l) calls for 
comprehensive Community rules to make transfrontier 
movements of nuclear waste subject to a system of strict 
controls and authorizations from their point of origin to 
their point of storage; whereas the principles of unity 
and indivisibility of health protection under the Euratom 
Treaty require that all shipments of radioactive waste 
within the Community be subject to such controls and 
authorizations; 
Whereas Council Directive 84/631/EEC of 6 December 
1984 on the supervision and control within the European 
Community of the transfrontier shipment of hazardous 
waste (2) does not apply to radioactive waste; 
Whereas the Council decided that the Community be 
party to the Basel Convention on the control of trans-
boundary movements of hazardous wastes and their 
disposal of 22 March 1989; whereas this Convention 
does not apply to radioactive waste; 
Whereas shipments of radioactive waste necessitate 
supervision and control of such waste from the moment 
of its formation until its ultimate safe disposal; 
Whereas this requires a compulsory and common notifi­
cation procedure for shipments of radioactive waste and 
a uniform consignment note; 
Whereas measures ensuring post factum control of 
shipments are also necessary; 
Whereas the competent authorities of the Member State 
of destination of radioactive waste should be able to 
raise objections to shipments of radioactive waste; 
Whereas it is also desirable for the Member State of 
dispatch and the Member State of transit to be able, 
subject to certain criteria, to lay down conditions in 
respect of the shipment of waste on their territory; 
Whereas, in connection with protecting human health 
and the environment against dangers arising from such 
waste, account must be taken of risks occurring outside 
the Community; whereas, therefore, in case of radio­
active waste entering and /or leaving the Community, the 
third State of destination or dispatch and where appro-Whereas this requires a compulsory and common notifi­
cation procedure for shipments of radioactive waste and 
a uniform consignment note; whereas, for practical 
reasons the uniform consignment notes must be drawn 
up taking account of the uniform consignment note 
instituted by Directive 84/631/EEC;
