Commission opinion of 27 July 1999 concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the operation of the Gorleben pilot conditioning plant (PKA) located in Lower Saxony in the Federal Republic of Germany in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty (Only the German text is authentic)

COMMISSION OPINION

of 27 July 1999

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the operation of the Gorleben pilot
located in Lower Saxony in the Federal Republic of Germany in
conditioning plant (PKA)

accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(1999/C 224/03)

(Only the German text is authentic)

On 3 February 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 resulting from the operation of the Gorleben pilot conditioning plant (PKA)
in Lower Saxony.

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 distances between the plant and the nearest Member States are approximately 170 km and 250 km

to Denmark and the Netherlands respectively.

(b) Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous effluents are not liable to
cause an exposure, significant from the point of view of health, to the population of other Member
States.

(c) Solid radioactive waste arising from plant operations will be stored or disposed of in a licensed site in

Germany (the BLG interim storage facility adjacent to PKA).

(d) In the event of unplanned discharges of radioactive waste as a consequence of accidents 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 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 operation of the Gorleben pilot conditioning plant (PKA), both in normal
operation and in the event of accidents 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.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1648/1999

of 27 July 1999

derogating from Regulation (EEC) No 1589/87 on the sale by tender of butter to intervention
agencies

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27
June 1968 on the common organisation of the market in milk
and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1587/96 (2), and in particular the first subparagraph of Article
7a(1) and Article 7a(3) thereof,

(1) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1589/87 (3),
as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 124/1999 (4),
establishes the rules for the sale by tender of butter to
intervention agencies; whereas Article 3(1) of that Regu-
lation stipulates that tenderers may take part in the
invitation to tenders only in respect of butter manufac-
tured in the 21 days preceding the final date for the
submission of tenders;

(2) Whereas, in view of the fact that a single invitation to
tender takes place at the end of August, and that there-
fore a period of 28 days separates that invitation to
tender from the final invitation to tender in July, the
period of 21 days is too short to give access to interven-
the butter manufactured in the period
tion to all

between the two invitations to tender; whereas therefore
there should be a temporary extension to 28 days of the
period during which butter may be manufactured and
offered for intervention;

(3) Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation
are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee for Milk and Milk Products,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

By derogation from Article 3(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1589/
87 and in respect of the invitation to tender for which the time
limit
tenders expires on the fourth
Tuesday of August 1999, the manufacturing period referred to
in the above paragraph shall be 28 days.

Article 2
