COMMISSION OPINION

of 22 December 2008

concerning the plans for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the JULES HOROWITZ
research reactor and the MAGENTA fissile materials store, located on the site of Cadarache in
France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

(2009/C 2/01)

On 29 April 2008, the European Commission received from the Government of France, in accordance with
Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plans for the disposal of radioactive waste
arising from the JULES HOROWITZ research reactor and the MAGENTA fissile materials store, installations
located on the site of Cadarache.

On the basis of these data and the complementary information provided by representatives of the French
Government at the meeting of the Group of Experts on 15 and 16 September 2008, the Commission has
drawn up the following opinion:

1. the distance between both installations and the nearest point on the territory of another Member State,

in this case Italy is approximately 110 km, while Spain is 230 km away;

2. during normal operation, the discharges of liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents from both installa-
tions will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State;

3. solid radioactive waste arising from both installations will be temporarily stored on site before being
transferred to a disposal facility authorised by the French Government. Spent fuel elements from the
research reactor will be temporarily stored on site before being transported to the reprocessing plant at
La Hague;

4. for both installations, in the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow the
accidents of the type and magnitude respectively considered in the General Data, the doses received in
another Member State will not be liable to affect the health of the population.

IN CONCLUSION, the Commission is of the opinion that, both in normal operation and in the event of an
accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the implementation of the plans for the
disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form arising from either the JULES HOROWITZ research reactor
or the MAGENTA fissile materials store, both located on the site of Cadarache in France, is not liable to
result in radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

COMMISSION OPINION

of 22 December 2008

on the request from Ireland to accept Council Decision 2008/381/EC establishing a European
Migration Network

(2009/C 1/01)

1. INTRODUCTION

1. On 14 May 2008, the Council adopted Decision 2008/381/EC establishing a European Migration
Network (EMN). Pursuant to Article 1 of the Protocol on the position of Ireland, Ireland did not partici-
pate in adoption of the above-mentioned Decision.

2. However, by virtue of Article 4 of the same Protocol ‘Ireland may at any time after the adoption of a
measure by the Council pursuant to Title IV (ex Title IIIa) of the Treaty establishing the European Com-
munity notify its intention to the Council and to the Commission that it wishes to accept that measure.
In that case, the procedure provided for in Article 11a (ex Article 5a(3)) of the Treaty establishing the
European Community shall apply mutatis mutandis’.

3. By letter,

Ireland notified the Council and the Commission that

it wishes to accept Decision

2008/381/EC.

4. In accordance with Article 11a of the Treaty establishing the European Community ‘any Member State
that wishes to participate in enhanced cooperation established in accordance with Article 11 shall notify
its intention to the Council and to the Commission, which shall give an opinion to the Council within
three months of the date of receipt of that notification. Within four months of the date of receipt of that
notification, the Commission shall take a decision on it, and on such specific arrangements as it may
deem necessary’.

5. In accordance with the above-mentioned Article, the Commission gives the following opinion to the

Council:

2. OPINION

The Commission welcomes the request from Ireland to accept Decision 2008/381/EC, which is a key
component of the Community asylum and migration policy, and would therefore give a positive opinion on
this participation.

The Commission notes that Ireland continues to be a strong supporter of the EMN, contributing actively to
its development and outputs. The Commission considers that it is important to acknowledge this commit-
ment at the earliest possible date, as this is considered also to be in the overall interests of the EU.

As a specific arrangement, therefore, the Commission takes the view that the above-mentioned Decision
should enter into force for Ireland on the day of the notification from Ireland of its acceptance.
