COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 17.10.1995 
COM(95) 481 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL DECISION 
approving amendments to the statutes of the 
Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk GmbH (KRB) joint undertaking 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
By its Decision of 18 June 1963,l the Council established Kernkraftwerk RWE-Bayernwerk 
GmbH (KRB) as a joint undertaking for a period of 25 years. By its Decision of 
25 July 1988,2 the Council extended KRB's joint undertaking status for 12 years in order to 
allow KRB to implement its programme for complete dismantling of its nuclear power plant, 
which is of special interest to the nuclear industry within the Community. 
On 11 November 1994 the members of KRB decided to reduce the capital of the joint 
undertaking from 100 million to 40 million German marks. This constitutes an amendment 
of the statutes of the joint undertaking which, in accordance with Article 50 of the Euratom 
Treaty, cannot enter into force until it has been approved by the Council. 
Considering the reduction in the joint undertaking's commercial activities as a result of 
dismantling of the nuclear power station, the reduction of capital does not prejudice sound 
financial management of the joint undertaking. 
The Commission proposes that the amendment requested by KRB to its statutes be approved.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

Commission, 
Whereas the Council, by

extend the period of validity of the joint 
undertaking status for a further 12 years 
ending in the year 2000 with a view to 
complete dismantling by KRB of its nuclear 
power station; 
Whereas the decision taken at the general 
meeting of the members of KRB on 
11 November 1994 to reduce the capital of 
the joint undertaking from 100 million 
German marks to 40 million German marks 
constitutes an amendment to the statutes of 
the joint undertaking; 
Whereas, considering the reduction in its 
activities as a result of the dismantling of the 
nuclear power station, this reduction in 
capital does not prejudice sound financial 
management of the joint undertaking; 
whereas the corresponding amendment to the 
statutes of the joint undertaking should 
consequently be approved, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
