1. 

JUSTIFICATION AND OBJECTIVE 

At European level, carriers of radioactive materials are covered by transport legislation under 
the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and legislation of the radiation-
specific  aspects  including  the  health  protection  of  workers  and  the  general  public  under  the 
Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom). 

TFEU  legislation  has  been  simplified  by  Directive  2008/68/EC  of  the  European  Parliament 
and  of  the  Council  of  24  September  2008  on  the  inland  transport  of  dangerous  goods  by 
combining all inland transport modes. 

Council  Directive  96/29/Euratom  of  13  May  1996  lays  down  basic  safety  standards  for  the 
protection  of  the  health  of  workers  and  the  general  public  against  the  dangers  arising  from 
ionizing radiation. According to Article 30 of the Treaty, these basic standards mean: 

(a) 

maximum permissible doses compatible with adequate safety; 

(b)  maximum permissible levels of exposure and contamination; 

(c) 

the fundamental principles governing the health surveillance of workers. 

Member  States,  according  to  Article  33,  shall  lay  down  appropriate  provisions  to  ensure 
compliance with the basic standards. 

For  the  sake  of  protecting  the  health  of  workers  and  the  general  public  and  to  better  focus 
their  work,  Member  states  authorities  need  to  know  which  persons,  organizations  or 
undertakings to check on. To that effect, Art. 3 and 4 of the Directive require Member States 
to submit certain practices involving a hazard from ionizing radiation to a system of reporting 
(notification) and prior authorization or prohibition of certain practices. 

Directive 96/29/Euratom applies to all practices which involve a risk from ionizing radiation 
emanating from an artificial source or from a natural radiation source, including transport. 

As transport is the only "mobile" practice, and given the often cross-border nature of transport 
operations,  a  carrier  may  have  to  follow  these  reporting  and  authorization  procedures  in 
several  Member  States.  In  addition,  Member  States  have  implemented  these  procedures  in 
differing systems, thereby adding to the complexity of transport operations as such. 

Replacing  these  national  reporting  and  authorization  procedures  by  a  unique  registration 
system for the practice of transport will therefore contribute to simplify the procedure, reduce 
administrative  burden,  do  away  with  barriers  to  entry,  while  the  high  radiation  protection 
levels reached will be maintained. 

This  Regulation  replaces  the  reporting  and  authorization  systems  in  the  Member  States  in 
implementing  Council  Directive  96/29/Euratom  by  a  single  registration.  The  Regulation 
establishes  a  European  System  for  Carrier  Registration.  Carriers  should  apply  through  a 
central  web  interface.  These  applications  will  be  screened  by  the  respective  national 
competent  authority  which  issues  the  registration  if  the  applicant  fulfils  the  basic  safety 
standards. At the same time, the system allows the competent authorities a better overview of 

EN 

2 

   EN 

 
the  carriers  that  are  active  in  their  country.  The  system  must  be  available,  tested  and 
functional when this Regulation enters into force. 

The  Regulation  adopts  a  graded  approach  by  excluding  from  the  registration  procedure 
carriers  who  transport  exclusively  "excepted  packages".  On  the  other  hand,  the  Regulation 
leaves  it  up  to  the  Member  States  to  add  additional  registration  requirements  for  carriers  of 
fissile and highly- radioactive materials. 

Other Community law and international rules regarding physical protection, safeguards, and 
third-party liability continue to apply. This is true, in particular, for Directive 2008/68/EC. 

2. 

LEGAL BASIS 

The provisions of this Regulation are related to the basic standards for the protection of the 
health  of  workers  and  the  general  public.  Consequently,  the  legal  base  chosen  is  the  Treaty 
establishing  the  European  Atomic  Energy  Community,  and  in  particular  Articles  31  and  32 
thereof. 

3. 

SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY 

The  subsidiarity  principle  applies  insofar  as  the  proposal  does  not  fall  under  the  exclusive 
competence of the Community. As the Community's legislative powers under Title II Chapter 
3  of  the  EURATOM  Treaty  are  exclusive  in  nature,  they  are  not  subject  to  the  principle  of 
subsidiarity. 

Proportionality is also assured. The proposed mechanism, according to the impact assessment 
carried  out  in  the  preparation,  strikes  a  careful  balance  between  effective  protection  of 
workers and the public during transport operations, the legitimate interests of the stakeholders 
involved and the interests of Member States. Above all, the preferred option is the minimum 
necessary to effectively achieve the objectives set while keeping the costs within reasonable 
limits.

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

establishing a Community system for registration of carriers of radioactive materials 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Atomic  Energy  Community,  and  in 
particular the second paragraph of Article 31 and Article 32 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, drawn up after obtaining the opinion of 
a group of persons appointed by the Scientific and Technical Committee, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee1, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament2, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

Article  33  of  the  Treaty  requires  Member  States  to  lay  down  the  appropriate 
provisions to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards for the protection of 
the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionizing 
radiation. 

The basic safety standards are established by Council Directive 96/29/Euratom of 13 
May  19963.  That  Directive  applies  to  all  practices  which  involve  a  risk  of  ionizing 
radiation emanating from an artificial or a natural radiation source, including transport. 

In  order  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  basic  standards,  it  is  necessary  to  lay  down 
which persons, organizations or undertakings should be checked on by the authorities 
of Member States. To this effect Directive 96/29/Euratom requires Member States to 
submit  certain  practices  involving  a  hazard  from  ionizing  radiation  to  a  system  of 
reporting and prior authorization or to prohibit certain practices. 

Transport being the only practice having a cross-border nature, carriers of radioactive 
materials  may  be  required  to  follow  requirements  related  to  reporting  and 
authorization  systems  in  several  Member  States.  This  Regulation  replaces  these 
reporting  and  authorization  systems  in  the  Member  States  by  a  single  registration

system  valid  across  the  European  Atomic  Energy  Community  (hereinafter  the 
'Community'). 

For  carriers  by  air  and  sea,  such  registration  and  certification  systems  already  exist. 
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 of 16 December 1991 on the harmonization of 
technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation4 lays 
down  that  air  carriers  need  a  specific  air  operator  certificate  for  transportation  of 
dangerous  goods.  For  transports  by  sea,  Directive  2002/59/EC  of  the  European 
Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2002 establishes a Community vessel traffic 
monitoring  and  information  system5.  The  certificates  issued  by  the  civil  aviation 
authorities and the reporting system for maritime vessels are deemed to satisfactorily 
implement  the  reporting  and  authorization  requirements  of  Directive  96/29/Euratom. 
A registration of air and see carriers under this Regulation is therefore not necessary to 
enable Member States to ensure compliance with the basic standards in these transport 
modes. 

Carriers of radioactive material are subject to a number of requirements of Union and 
Euratom  legislation  as  well  as  international  legal  instruments.  The  International 
Atomic  Energy  Agency  (IAEA)  Regulations  for  the  Safe  Transport  of  Radioactive 
Material (TS-R-1) and the Modal Regulations for the Transport of Dangerous Goods 
continue  to  apply  directly  or  are  implemented  by  Member  States  under  Directive 
2008/68/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 September 2008 on 
the inland transport of dangerous goods6 for road, rail and inland waterway transport. 
The provisions of this Directive are, however, without prejudice to the application of 
other  provisions  in  the  fields  of  occupational  safety  and  health  and  environmental 
protection. 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION 

Article 1 
Subject matter and scope 

(1) 

(2)
