COMMISSION OPINION

of 22 October 2001

concerning the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste from the modification of the Emsland
nuclear power station KKE in the Federal Republic of Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of
the Euratom Treaty

(2001/C 319/07)

(Only the German text is authentic)

On 21 March 2001, 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 from the modification of the Emsland nuclear power plant.

On the basis of these data, the Commission has considered that the plan concerned a modification to an
existing plan on which an opinion had already been given. The Commission has further taken into
consideration that the intermediate storage facility for irradiated fuel resulting from that modification
could remain in operation after decommissioning and dismantling of the existing plant. Following consul-
tation with the group of experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

(a) The planned modification requires no changes to the existing authorised limits for gaseous and liquid

discharges.

(b) The planned modification has no consequences in relation to solid radioactive waste arising from the

operation of the existing plant.

(c) The planned modification has no consequences in relation to unplanned discharges of radioactive
substances, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the general data
of the existing plan.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan for the disposal of
radioactive waste resulting from the modification of the Emsland nuclear power station KKE, located in the
Federal Republic of Germany, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the 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.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3009/01 by John Cushnahan (PPE-DE) to the Commission. Farmyard pollution control grants.

C 93 E/215

The Commission wishes to examine the provisions for the granting of motorway concessions in the
Member States and has asked the latter for detailed information on their procedures. The Commission is
currently analysing the information thus compiled in order to obtain an overall view of this sector. If on
completion of this examination it appears that the procedures followed in Italy for extending the duration
of concessions are likely to be incompatible with the provisions of the EC Treaty, the Commission will not
fail to take the necessary action.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3009/01

by John Cushnahan (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(22 October 2001)

Subject: Farmyard pollution control grants

Has the Commission made any decision regarding the request form the Irish Government for permission
to raise the ceiling for the national scheme for the control of farmyard pollution? (ref. N113-99)

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(28 November 2001)

The scheme the Honourable Member refers to, concerns an extension of the budget, the number of
beneficiaries and the duration of an aid scheme approved by the Commission on 14 July 1999 through
Decision SG (99) D/5100 (State aid No N 113/99). The amendments to the scheme is registered as State
aid No N 443/01 and was approved by the Commission on 30 October 2001 through Decision SG(01)
D/291979.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3073/01

by Mihail Papayannakis (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(8 November 2001)

Subject: Recognition of architectural diplomas

Recently I have received complaints from individuals who are already registered with the Technical
Chambers of France and Germany and also wish to become members of the Technical Chamber of Greece,
but have been unable to do so. They complain that their applications are either not forwarded or remain
unanswered.

This is clearly a case of defective implementation of Directive 85/384/EEC (1) on the mutual recognition of
diplomas, certificates and other evidence of formal qualifications in architecture, including measures to
facilitate the effective exercise of the right of establishment and freedom to provide services, in spite of the
fact that this legislation was transposed into Greek law by the Presidential Decree of 7 April 1993. Could
the Commission investigate to what degree the charges are justified and whether the Greek authorities
responsible are applying the directive correctly?

(1) OJ L 223, 21.8.1985, p. 15.

Answer given by Mr Bolkestein on behalf of the Commission

(17 December 2001)

The Commission is aware of the problem raised by the Honourable Member, which is why it initiated
infringement proceedings on this matter in 1997.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2893/01

by Jens-Peter Bonde (EDD) to the Council

(22 October 2001)

Subject: Annual number of votes in the Council

How many votes have been held in the Council every year?

Reply

(14 February 2002)

As a preliminary remark, the Council would like to draw the Honourable Member’s attention to the fact
that the General Secretariat of the Council draws up monthly summaries of Council acts which contain
lists of legislative and non-legislative acts of the Council, including the results of votes, explanations of
voting and statements for the minutes when the Council is acting in its legislative capacity within the
meaning of Article 207(3) of the EC Treaty and Article 7 of its Rules of Procedure

As from January 2001 these monthly summaries also include references to the voting procedure followed
for the adoption of the acts by the Council (unanimity, qualified or simple majority). The summaries can
be obtained directly from the Council’s website (http://ue. eu. int, under ‘Transparency’ and ‘Summary of
Council acts’). Furthermore, the results of votes on legislative acts are published in the press releases which
are issued after Council meetings and which may also be downloaded from the Council’s website (under
‘Press Office/Newsroom’ and ‘Council’).

As for the Honourable Member’s specific question concerning the number of votes taking place in the
Council every year, statistics are available on votes taken when the Council acts in its legislative capacity.
In other cases, the results of votes are only made public by Council decision taken at the request of one of
its members, under Article 9(3), subparagraph (c) of its Rules of Procedure. The following statistics of
abstentions and negative votes cast by delegations on the adoption of legislative acts by the Council were
compiled for the period from 1996 until 2000:
