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  on  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 
ionising radiation. According to Article 30 of the Treaty, these basic standards mean: 

•  maximum permissible doses compatible with adequate safety; 

•  maximum permissible levels of exposure and contamination; 

•  the fundamental principles governing the health surveillance of workers. 

In accordance with Article 33, Member States must 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,  organisations  or 
undertakings  to  check  on.  To  that  end,  Articles  3  and  4  of  the  Directive  require  Member 
States  to  submit  certain  practices  involving  a  hazard  from  ionising  radiation  to  a  system  of 
reporting (notification) and prior authorisation or to prohibit certain practices. 

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

Given the frequent cross-border nature of transport operations, a carrier may have to comply 
with  reporting  and  authorisation  procedures  in several  Member  States.  In  addition,  Member 
States have implemented these procedures in different ways, thereby adding to the complexity 
of transport operations. 

Replacing  these  national  reporting  and  authorisation  procedures  with  a  single  registration 
system for conducting transport will therefore contribute to simplifying the procedure, reduce 
the  administrative  burden  and  do  away  with  barriers  to  entry,  while  the  high  radiation 
protection levels reached will be maintained. 

This Regulation replaces the reporting and authorisation systems in the Member States for the 
purpose  of  implementing  Council  Directive  96/29/Euratom  with  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 will issue the registration if the applicant fulfils the basic safety 
standards. At the same time, the system affords the competent authorities a better overview of 
the carriers that are active in their country.  

The  Regulation  adopts  a  graded  approach  by  exempting  carriers  who  transport  exclusively 
‘excepted packages’ from the need to register. 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 relate to the basic safety standards for the protection of the 
health  of  workers  and  the  general  public.  Consequently,  the  legal  basis  is  Chapter  3  of  the 
Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and, in particular, Articles 31 
and 32 thereof. 

3. 

SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY 

As recognised by the Court of Justice of the European Union in its case-law, the provisions of 
Chapter 3 of the Euratom Treaty on health and safety form a coherent whole conferring upon 
the Commission powers of some considerable scope in order to protect the population and the 
environment against risks of nuclear contamination1.  

Based  on  the  Court’s  ruling  in  Case  C-29/99,  the  existing  basic  safety  standards,  which  are 
mainly at protecting the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising 
from ionising radiations can be ‘supplemented’. The proposed Regulation would supplement 
the basic safety standards provided for in Article 30 of the Euratom Treaty, which have been 
revised several times since the Treaty entered into force and more recently on 13 May 1996 
(Directive 96/29 Euratom)2. 

In its ruling of 10 December 2002 in Case C-29/99, the Court favours a wide interpretation of 
the scope of Directive 96/29/Euratom, stating that ‘it is not appropriate, in order to define the 
Community’s  competencies,  to  draw  an  artificial  distinction  between  the  protection  of  the 
health  of  the  general  public  and  the  safety  of  sources  of  ionising  radiation’.  The  Court 
recognises that under Articles 30 to 32 of the Euratom Treaty the Community possesses wide 
‘legislative  competence  to  establish,  for  the  purpose  of  health  protection,  a  related 
authorisation  system  which  must  be  applied  by  the  Member  States.  Such  a  legislative  act 
constitutes  a  measure  supplementing  the  basic  standards  referred  to  in  that  article’.  As  the 
proposed  Regulation  falls  under  the  scope  of  Directive  96/29/Euratom,  the  subsidiarity 
principle  does  not  apply  because  of  the  exclusive  nature  of  the  Community’s  legislative 
powers under Chapter 3 of the Euratom Treaty. 

4. 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS 

Developing  the  registration  system,  whose  website  will  also  include  links  to  the  competent 
authorities  in  Member  States,  will  cost  roughly  €1  million  in  operational  appropriations 
followed  by  annual  running  costs  of  €0.18  milli on.  To  oversee  the  development  process 
existing  human  resources  costing  €0.7  million  would  be  required  followed  by  assistance 
costing €0.1 million annually. 

For the purposes of the Advisory Committee established under this Regulation, no additional 
budgetary  implications  would  be  incurred  if  the  Member  States  agreed  to  make  use  of  the 
existing Standing Working Group on the safe transport of radioactive materials. The financing 
for  covering  meetings  of  the  Committee  (less  than  €  30.000  per  year)  will  be  provided 
through redeployment of existing resources. No additional costs above the allocation foreseen 
on the budget line will be incurred.

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 Committee3, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament4,

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 ionising 
radiation. 

The basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general 
public  against  the  dangers  arising  from  ionising  radiation  are  established  by  Council 
Directive  96/29/Euratom  of  13  May  19965.  That  Directive  applies  to  all  practices 
which  involve  a  risk  of  ionising  radiation  emanating  from  an  artificial  or  a  natural 
radiation source, including transport. 

In order to ensure compliance with the basic safety standards persons, organisations or 
undertakings are subject to regulatory control by the authorities of the Member States. 
For  that  purpose  Directive  96/29/Euratom  requires  Member  States  to  submit  certain 
practices involving a hazard from ionising radiation to a system of reporting and prior 
authorisation or to prohibit certain practices. 

Transport  being  the  only  practice  of  a  frequent  cross-border  nature,  carriers  of 
radioactive materials may be required to comply with requirements related to reporting 
and  authorisation  systems  in  several  Member  States.  This  Regulation  replaces  those 
reporting  and  authorisation  systems  in  the  Member  States  with  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 aviation6 lays 
down that air carriers need a specific air operator certificate for the 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  system7.  The  certificates  issued  by  the  civil  aviation 
authorities and the reporting system for maritime vessels are deemed to satisfactorily 
implement  the  reporting  and  authorisation  requirements  of  Directive  96/29/Euratom. 
Registration of air and sea carriers under this Regulation is therefore not necessary to 
enable  Member  States  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  basic  safety  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 goods8 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. 

In  order  to  ensure  uniform  conditions  for  implementation  of  this  Regulation, 
implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should 
be  exercised  in  accordance  with  Regulation  (EU)  No  182/2011  of  the  European 
Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general 
principles  concerning  mechanisms  for  the  control  by  the  Member  States  of  the 
Commission’s exercise of implementing powers.

enforcement  measures  within  the  legal  framework  of  that  Member  State,  such  as 
written  notices,  training  and  education  measures,  suspension,  revocation  or 
modification of the registration or prosecution, depending on the safety significance 
of the non-compliance and the record of compliance of the carrier. 

The  competent  authority  of  the  Member  State  where  the  non-compliance  was 
discovered shall communicate to the carrier and to the competent authorities of the 
Member  States  where  the  carrier  was  planning  to  transport  radioactive  materials, 
information on enforcement action applied and a statement of reasons for application 
of  that  action.  If  the  carrier  does  not  comply  with  the  enforcement  action  applied 
pursuant  to  paragraph  1,  the  competent  authority  of  the  Member  State  of 
establishment of the head office of the carrier or, if the carrier is established in a third

radioactive materials 
Policy area(s) concerned in the ABM/ABB structure11  

1.2.

1.3. 

Nature of the proposal/initiative  

X The proposal/initiative relates to a new action  
(cid:133) The proposal/initiative relates to a new action following a pilot project/preparatory action12  

(cid:133) The proposal/initiative relates to the extension of an existing action  

(cid:133) The proposal/initiative relates to an action redirected towards a new action  

1.4. 

Objectives 

1.4.1.  The Commission's multiannual strategic objective(s) targeted by the proposal/initiative  

1. Sustainable Growth  

1a. Competitiveness for growth and employment 

The general objectives of the proposal are directly linked to the fundamental objectives of EU 
policy, as applied in this specific field, that is, 

to  ensure  and  maintain  adequate  safety  standards  to  protect  the  public  and  the 

• 
environment during transports of radioactive materials and 

• 

to aim at an European single market for transport services of radioactive materials 

1.4.2. 

Specific objective(s) and ABM/ABB activity(ies) concerned  

The specific objectives of the proposed Community action should be  

to guarantee safety and health protection of citizens during the transport of radioactive 

• 
materials in the territory of the EU, 

• 

to contribute to remove obstacles to the internal market in this sector, 

to increase transparency in TRAM legislation allowing carriers and users to easily find 

• 
the information needed and authorities involved, 

to create the appropriate legislative and organisational conditions to ensure delivery in 
• 
time  and  in  good  conditions  of  lifesaving  radioisotopes  essential  for  trials  and  therapy 
treatments concerning a large number of diseases.

Finally, operational objectives are related to the specific outputs of Community action: 

to  apply  internationally  accepted  regulations  so  as  to  make  repetitive  Member  States 

• 
rules obsolete, 

to allow carriers to transport materials in the Community without the need for additional 

• 
administrative procedures for registration or licenses in other Member States, 

to  establish  national  Contact  Points  guiding  carriers  to  the  information  and  authorities 

• 
needed, 

to  drop  notification  requirements  for  individual  transports  for  radioactive  materials  – 

• 
apart from fissile and high-consequence radioactive materials. 

With regards to expenditure the objective is to develop and maintain a the European System of 
Carrier Registration.

1.4.3.  Expected result(s) and impact 

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted. 

Results 

to  ensure  and  maintain  adequate  safety  standards  to  protect  the  public  and  the 

• 
environment during transports of radioactive materials and 

• 

to aim at a European single market for transport services of radioactive materials 

Impact: 

By providing for, among others, the mutual recognition of licences for carriers, the Regulation 
is  expected  to  lead  to  annual  savings  of  €  13.6  million  per  year  across  the  economy.  The 
proposed  approach  would  reduce  the  bureaucratic  burden  on  carriers,  users  and  producers 
while  freeing  resources  in  authorities,  which  then  could  be  partially,  at  least,  used  for 
compliance checks.  

The  savings  coming  from  an  improved  regulatory  frame  total  (Fewer  derogations  from  the 
regulative framework; better and harmonised rules at European level; Reduced complexity of 
regulations;  Decrease  of  costs  due  to  less  administrative  burden;  Costs  of  additional 
requirements in national law; Less time needed for approvals) would total € 9.8 million while 
costs for transport operations would be reduced by € 5.2 million (D ecrease in delays of trans-
boundary shipments; Decrease of denials and non-compliance of shipments; Tear down entry 
barriers for small and medium-sized enterprises). 

These savings of € 15 million would be counter ed by public sector costs of € 1.4 million per 
year including the set-up and running costs of the registration system. 

The Regulation will effectively simplify the current approval systems, introduce transparency 
and  eliminate  barriers  to  a  functioning  internal  market  while  maintaining  a  high  level  of 
safety. 

1.4.4. 

Indicators of results and impact  

Specify the indicators for monitoring implementation of the proposal/initiative. 

EN 

20 

   EN 

 
The European Commission will closely follow the impacts of the Regulation through intensive 
consultation of the stakeholdes involved: Member States, carriers and those demanding such 
transport services. 

The lack of reliable statistics in the area makes it difficult to quantify exact targets. The close 
contacts Commission services have with all stakeholders should allow, however, whether the 
specific objectives of this initiative are met: 

to guarantee safety and health protection of citizens during the transport of radioactive 

• 
materials in the territory of the EU, 

• 

to contribute to remove obstacles to the internal market in this sector, 

to  increase  transparency  in  legislation  allowing  carriers  and  users  to  easily  find  the 

• 
information needed and authorities involved, 

• 
to create the appropriate legislative and organisational conditions to ensure delivery in 
time  and  in  good  conditions  of  lifesaving  radioisotopes  essential  for  trials  and  therapy 
treatments concerning a large number of diseases 

With regards to the registration system, the following indicators will be used: 

• 

• 

• 

To have the system operational in time and on budget; 

The features provided fully comply with the Regulation; 

The system is user friendly 

1.5. 

Grounds for the proposal/initiative  

1.5.1.  Requirement(s) to be met in the short or long term  

The registration system must be fully and reliably available. 

1.5.2.  Added value of EU involvement 

Taking into account  

the need to provide for high safety standards for the transport of radioactive materials in 

• 
all 27 Member States , 

the need to tackle the problems encountered in trans-boundary transports, in particular, 

• 
the variety in the implementation of Articles 3 and 4 of the Basic Standards Directive, 

it  is  more  than  evident  that  EU  action  can  help  to  harmonise  and  simplify  rules  in  the 
Community and increase transparency while continuing to guarantee a high level of safety. 

1.5.3.  Lessons learned from similar experiences in the past 

Opening the full potential of the internal market has provided benefits to both consumers and 
producers or service providers. 

1.5.4.  Coherence and possible synergy with other relevant instruments 

The Regulation is fully in line with the general objectives of the EU/Euratom (single market, 
protection of workers and the public).

MANAGEMENT MEASURES  

2.1.  Monitoring and reporting rules  

Specify frequency and conditions. 

DG  Energy  proposes  to  follow  the  expert  advice  received  and  to  evaluate  the  effects  of  this 
Regulation  two  years  after  it  enters  into  force.  This  interim  evaluation  could  reveal  any 
difficulties  and  bottlenecks  to  be  solved.  After  this  initial  evaluation  it  might  be  useful  to 
revisit the issue at a five-year interval to monitor what barriers may still exist for the smooth 
operation of the transport of radioactive materials in the European Union. 

2.2.  Management and control system  

2.2.1.  Risk(s) identified  

MS unwilling to make the necessary investments (in terms of effort) in the project  

Legal base delay. The proposal is being adopted by the EC but with an unknown time horizons 
on the Council outcomes 

Legal  base  blockage  for  whatever  reason  (eg.  The  proposal  will  not  reach  the  requested 
majority in the Council) 

The final text of the Regulation will differ significantly with respect to the actual version 

National authorization procedures are difficult to be integrated in a unified EU27 framework 

The subcontractor may not deliver the project at the required quality level and, as a result, the 
reliability of the total system may not meet performance specifications. 

Requirements mismatch 

Architecture faults; difficulty in integrating commercial off-the-shelf software  

2.2.2.  Control method(s) envisaged  

The  development  of  the  registration  systems  follows  the  guidelines  set  by  DIGIT  and  will 
make  use  of  the  DIGIT  Framework  Contracts  in  place  and  therefore  follow  the  standard 
procedure in agreement with the Financial Regulation including all the controls foreseen there. 
In addition, hosting will be done through administrative agreement with DIGIT. 

2.3.  Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities  

Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures. 

DG ENER will apply all regulatory control mechanisms.
