4. Member States can arrange who is to bear the costs for the destruction of animal carcases struck
with BSE. The Commission does not have an overview of how this is financed in the different Member
States. In case State aid is involved, a notification to the Commission in conformity with Article 88(3) of
the EC Treaty would be required, in order to assess the compatibility of the measure with State aid rules.

5.
The Commission does not have concise information on this point. As a matter of example, in the
United Kingdom the cost of over-thirty months meat and bone meal (MBM) destruction is in the range of
GBP 60,00 to 90,00 per tonne. As to who covers the costs, reference is made to the reply to question 4.

6.
Longer-lasting substantial differences between the level of public funding for these measures may
very well have an impact on the relative competitive position of producers. This is why control and review
by the Commission of all State aids is essential,
in order to ascertain that possible distortions of
competition caused by a State aid are outweighed by positive effects of the aid.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-1828/01

by Nuala Ahern (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

(22 June 2001)

Subject: Application of Euratom to military nuclear tests

Will the Commission instruct its legal services to examine the judgment made by a British court on
29 March 2001 to the effect that the Euratom Treaty does not cover military activities, in contrast to the
fact that the Commission decided in its legal opinion of RB/HGG/ve(95)1824, 5-9-95, that Euratom does
apply to military nuclear tests?

Answer given by Mr Wallstr(cid:246)m on behalf of the Commission

(3 September 2001)

The Commission is aware of the judgement made by a British Court on 29 March 2001 which concludes
that the Euratom Treaty does not cover military activities.

Unlike the judgement of the British court, the Commission is of the view that the provisions of Chapter 3
(cid:145)Health and Safety(cid:146) of Title II of the Euratom Treaty apply to activities in both civil and military spheres.
The protection of the health and the safety of the public in the field of radiation protection is an indivisible
objective and extends to all dangers arising from ionizing radiation, irrespective of their source.

This opinion has been expressed, not only in 1995 concerning the French military nuclear tests in
Mururoa and Fangatofa but also, more recently,
in the framework of the dismantling operations of
Windscale Pile I nuclear reactor (see answer to written question P-3055/00 by Mrs Doyle (1)).

Unless a European Court of Justice Decision rules otherwise, this judgement will not modify in the future
the Commission(cid:146)s approach on the applicability of the Euratom Treaty to military installations.

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17

(3)

(4)

Since putting back the final date for delivery will not
affect the completion of distillation operations, to ensure
the scheme functions properly that deadline should be
extended to 20 July 2001.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Wine,

Whereas:

crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Regula-
tion (EC) No 1493/1999 for a maximum of 450 000
hectolitres of white table wine in Portugal.

According to information received from the Portuguese
authorities, distillers are finding it difficult to meet the
30 June 2001 deadline for taking over all the wine
delivered to distilleries owing to a lack of storage
capacity for holding the wine until

it is distilled.
