EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The Comrrn ssion -oftheEuropean Communities proposes totheCouncil of
Ministers that itadapt tothepresent situation theadvantages that it
ν
conferred on20May1975 ontheSchnel l-Bruter -Kernkraf twerksgesel Ischaf tmbH
(SBK)Joint Undertaking inpursuance ofChapter VoftheEuratom Treaty .
Since the Council ofMinisters granted the Schnell-Brutei –Kerknkraf twerks -*
gesellschaft mbH (SBK)Joint Undertaking status on20May 1975 ,thesituation
haschanged significantly byreason of : .
-on -theone hand ,analteration ofthetimescale and cost factors inherent
ir.theimplementation oftheKalkar nuclear power station project ;the
fulfilment oftheprocedure forobtaining aconstruction permit ,the
technical evolution oftheproject andthepolitical controversy sur­
rounding this power station .are thus resulting inanoverall project cost
which will probably exceed twice that initially estimated andthepower
station cannot nowbeexpected tobeaccepted before 1984 ;
-ontheother hand ,thedecision taken in1976 bySBK toprovide ,through
itsparticipation inNERSA ,.16%oftheamount oftheinvestment inthe
Super-Phenix demonstration power station ,inrespect ofwhich afinancial
contribution sought from thepublic authorities hasremained appreciably
below the sum requested . -
Itisthus proposed that the Council act ontheattached proposals for
amendments which were prepared after the Federal Republic ofGermany had
on6February 1980 expressed itsopinion concerning the request submitted
bytheSBKtotheCommission oftheEuropean Communities on29January 1979 ;
-byaqualified majority ,inaccordance with Article' 47oftheEuratom
Treaty ,ontheamendment ofArticle 1oftheCouncil Decision 75/328/
Euratom ontheestablishment oftheSBKJoint Undertaking ;
•unanimously ,inaccordance with Article 48oftheEuratom Treaty ,on
the amendment ofArticle 1ofthe Council Decision 75/329/Euratom onthe
.conferment oftaxadvantages ontheS8KJoint Undertaking .
