Commission Opinion of 10 November 2009 relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from a modification at the site of the Obrigheim KWO Nuclear Power Station, located in Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

COMMISSION OPINION

of 10 November 2009
relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from a modification at the site of the Obrigheim KWO Nuclear Power Station, located in Germany, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty
(Only the German text is authentic)
2009/C 275/01
On 28 May 2009, the European Commission received from the German Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from a modification at the site of the Obrigheim KWO Nuclear Power Station.
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 on 21 June 2007. The Commission has further taken into consideration that the intermediate storage facility for irradiated fuel resulting from this modification is designed to operate up to 40 years and could remain in operation after decommissioning and dismantling of the existing power station. Following consultation with the group of experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:






1.


The planned modification does not require adjustment of the existing authorised discharge limits for gaseous and liquid discharges.










2.


The planned modification has no consequences in relation to solid radioactive waste arising from the decommissioning of the power station.










3.


The planned modification has no consequences in relation to unplanned discharges of radioactive effluents 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 a modification at the site of the Obrigheim KWO Nuclear Power Station, 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 of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

            COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1079/2009
of 10 November 2009
         
on fixing the closing date for the submission of applications for private storage aid for pigmeat laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008


THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (‘Single CMO’ Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 43(a) and (d), in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Private storage aid is granted pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 of 17 December 2008 adopting emergency support measures for the pigmeat market in form of private storage aid in Ireland (2). The aid is granted due to the exceptional circumstances the pigmeat sector in Ireland experienced in December 2008 when findings revealed elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in pigmeat originating in Ireland. The situation has changed since then and consequently the measures are no longer needed.












(2)


The granting of private storage aid for pigmeat should therefore be ended and a closing date for the submission of applications should be set.












(3)


In order to avoid speculation the Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication and the closing date should be the day following the entry into force.












(4)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
The closing date for the submission of applications for private storage aid for pigmeat provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1278/2008 shall be 13 November 2009.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
